Happy Gilmore 2 Odds: The Chance Of The Sequel Happening

Happy Gilmore 2: Who Will Appear In The Sequel

We can obviously expect Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin to feature on the sequel, but the first film was littered with cameos from the likes of Lee Trevino, Bob Barker and Mark Lye.

The popularity of golf has only increased since the first Happy Gilmore, and so has the money involved. However, there are numerous characters on the PGA Tour who would have grown up with the film, and would jump at the opportunity to feature.

Luckily one sportsbook has given odds on people to make an appearance in Happy Gilmore 2.

The betting favorite is Greg Norman, according to the odds, there’s a 13.3% chance that he’ll appear in the sequel. The Australian, is a legend of the game, and The Shark is exactly the sort of character you want to see alongside Adam Sandler.

Then we move onto current PGA Tour players, and like every other golf betting market this year, the world number one comes first. Sportsbooks are offering odds of 11.1% that Dustin Johnson will feature in the Happy Gilmore sequel. We know DJ likes to enjoy himself, but aren’t too sure his acting skills are up to scratch.

Not only is Dustin Johnson the favorite current PGA Tour player to feature in Happy Gilmore, he’s also favorite for the Masters in a couple of months.

Next up is Jason Day, the second Aussie on the list. Jason Day’s odds imply he’s got a 10% chance of making the cut and featuring with Happy and Shooter.

Jordan Spieth is surging back to form on the PGA Tour, and it might be in time to make his first big film feature. Spieth’s odds imply he’s got a 8.3% chance of making an appearance.

Interestingly, Brooke Hendersen features in the betting market, the Canadian’s odds imply a 2.9% chance.

There’s one name which leaps out to us, and that’s Rory McIlroy. If we were to have a bet on the market we would be targeting the Northern Irishman at massive odds of +3300. McIlroy is great in front of camera, and has the right sort of sense of humor to make it work. Rory McIlroy to actor, what do you think?
