In the cinematic multiverse where sequels outnumber stars and nostalgia pays the bills, Happy Gilmore 2 lands on Netflix like a golf ball to the funny bone. It is not just another sports comedy revival; it is a pop culture convention disguised as a movie. Between the callbacks, cameos, and chaos, a certain name is suddenly flying alongside Happy Gilmore 2, and yes, it is Oliver Hudson. Make of that what you will.

As Adam Sandler’s golf-verse expands, one question tees up out of nowhere: Why is Oliver Hudson’s name circling this sequel, and wait, who exactly is Oliver Hudson anyway?

Oliver Hudson, the son of Goldie Hawn and the brother of Kate Hudson, is officially teeing off in the Netflix sequel nobody saw coming, but everybody is watching. Confirming the buzz: he has a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. Known for sitcom charm and unexpected roles, Oliver Hudson joins the long list of celebs who entered Adam Sandler’s clubhouse. A subtle swing, but one that definitely landed on the leaderboard of legacy cameos.

On July 21, Happy Gilmore 2 premiered in New York City, and Oliver Hudson arrived with his A-list support system in tow: wife Erinn Bartlett, their three kids, and a certain Hollywood legend, his mom, Goldie Hawn. She floated down the carpet in a billowy maxi dress, platinum blowout in full effect. The cameras snapped. The family smiled. And Goldie, ever the scene-stealer, proved that the Hawn-Hudson clan still owns every frame, cameo or not.

Is 'Happy Gilmore 2' on Netflix? When and Where Can You Watch Adam Sandler’s Summer 2025 Return

As Goldie Hawn shimmered in quiet queen mode, another cameo caused a full-blown internet detour, and this one wore an apron, not cleats.

In a twist that had Swifties scrambling and sports fans rewatching, Travis Kelce makes a surprise appearance in Happy Gilmore 2, not as a football hero, but as a country club waiter. That is right, the NFL star trades touchdowns for trays, serving golf bros with deadpan flair. Rumor has it Taylor Swift cracked up watching the scene. Honestly, if cinema is a game, Kelce just pulled off the most unexpected play of the year.

Travis Kelce is far from alone in this cameo-palooza. The sequel stacks up names like a fantasy draft gone rogue: Eminem plays the son of the original heckler, Post Malone drops beats as DJ Omar Gosh, and even WWE’s Becky Lynch pops in. But Kelce’s role? It hits different. Something about a tight end holding hors d'oeuvres in a Adam Sandler movie feels like post-modern comedy gold. The internet called it random. Netflix calls it content.
