Digest more
American golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested in Happy Gilmore 2. The sports comedy-drama was released on Netflix on July 25, featuring Adam Sandler in the lead.
Scheffler and his wife, Meredith, stepped out for the first time since his dominant win at The Open. Their destination? Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, where Netflix hosted the premiere of Adam Sandler’s long-awaited sequel. Stars lined the red carpet. But let’s be honest, golf royalty stole the show.
Fresh off his win at the British Open, Scottie Scheffler crashed The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, trophy in hand.
The mid-credits scene, then, tells a bit about what happened to Manatee ( Benny Safdie) and the fallout with Maxi Golf. It starts with a news broadcast — Sports Hole With Pat Daniels — telling viewers that "the bad news just keeps coming" for Maxi and its founder.
