UNDATED (WKRC) – Netflix on Tuesday released the teaser trailer for the long-awaited sequel to the original 1996 comedy “Happy Gilmore.” The movie will premiere on July 25.

Adam Sandler reprises his role as a hockey player-turned-golfer hitting the links in his Boston Bruins jersey. He wrote the new script with Tim Herlihy.

“I haven’t swung a club in years,” Gilmore says in the trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2.” “I don’t know where to start.”

Christopher McDonald returns as rival Shooter McGavin and Julie Bowen as the romantic lead, Virginia Venit. Ben Stiller appeared in the trailer — he was in the original film as a nursing home orderly.

John Daley, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy are among pro golfers who appear in the movie, and music superstar Bad Bunny was featured in the trailer as Happy Gilmore’s caddy.

Several actors from the original movie — including Bob Barker, Carl Weathers and Joe Flaherty — have since passed away.

Sandler has a $250 million deal with Netflix and has created eight movies for the service already, including “Sandy Wexler” and “The Ridiculous Six.”
