As the summer rolls on, “Happy Gilmore 2” has the potential to be one of the biggest attractions for fans inside and outside the world of sport.
Nearly 30 years after the original’s release, the sequel is set to include a host of cameos from major stars. One of the more notable appearances will come from an NFL superstar, who, in recent years, has attained another level of crossover appeal as an icon in popular culture.
Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce is among the many stars who will appear in “Happy Gilmore 2.” The seven-time All-Pro selection wasted no time expressing interest in joining the film ahead of time, and Adam Sandler made it happen, as confirmed in interviews and the movie’s trailer.

What is Travis Kelce’s role in Happy Gilmore 2?
Kelce’s exact role in “Happy Gilmore 2” is not yet known. He is briefly shown in the movie trailer wearing a vest, shirt and tie, suggesting he is potentially a server in a party setting.
In August, Sandler said, “He has mentioned it, and so we have a nice something for Travis,” adding that “He is going to come by.” Sandler’s admission that Kelce would “come by” suggests the Chiefs star’s role in the film is a cameo.
It is worth noting that Kelce does enjoy golfing, so there may be room for him to also appear on the course in the film, depending on how much time he spends on screen.
