Jena Sims hits back at notion husband Brooks Koepka got her ‘Happy Gilmore 2' role

Jena Sims is clapping back at the haters. In a TikTok video posted Monday night, the actress and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 36, pushed back against the notion that she received a role in Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2' because she's married to LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka, who appears in the star-studded comedy. 'When I actually auditioned for Happy Gilmore 2, but everyone thinks I'm in it because of my husband,' Sims captioned the video that featured her dancing in a trailer while mouthing, 'And my man, thank you to my man.'

Advertisement In addition to Koepka, who has been married to Sims since 2022, golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele were among those featured in the sequel to the 1996 original. 4 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiered on Netflix in July 2025. Scott Yamano/Netflix Sims told People this month she loved offering acting tips to Koepka, 35, not to mention the shared experience of being in a film together. 'He felt like he was stepping into my world,' Sims said. 'I had to teach him how to read a script and how to find certain things within the script. It was cool watching him step out of his comfort zone because that rarely happens.'

'I try to blend into the background or even not even be seen at golf tournaments,' she relayed to People. 'This was the complete opposite. I had to literally jump up and down and scream and try to get this other guy's attention.' 4 Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Kick Off Dinner on May 30.

'Happy Gilmore 2' pays tribute to this longtime PGA of America executive

The late, great 'Price is Right' host Bob Barker isn't the only cast member remembered fondly in Happy Gilmore 2. So, too, is Dan Baker, a longtime executive with the PGA of America, who died tragically in a car accident in December. He was 58. Baker, who spent nearly 17 years with the PGA, served as a consultant to the film, helping to ensure the making of 'Happy Gilmore 2' had a certain authenticity among golfers. He was on set as a second set of eyes for director Kyle Newacheck to make sure the golf scenes measured up to par. 'They were looking for someone who has been in golf and knows how golf tournaments and golf clubs work, someone who can help them make the movie look realistic,' Baker said in October. That role was right up Baker's alley. A Connecticut native and former club professional, Baker served as championship director of the 1999 Ryder Cup and then served for several years as championship director of the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship. In a story in the newsletter Power Fades, shortly before his death, he noted the similarities between making a movie and putting on a golf tournament. 'They have a lot of fun for sure, but it's like a traveling circus that they take on the road. In many ways, it reminds me of a golf championship that is conducted every week. There's a level of intensity every day and the work days are 13 hours,' Baker said. 'It's just so interesting to see so many people involved in making a scene just right.' Baker's contributions to 'Happy Gilmore 2' are highlighted in the credits: 'Dan's love of the game was only matched by his love of life. The fairways won't be the same without him but his legacy will always walk beside us.' Maddie Pool, who said 'Happy Gilmore 2' was her first movie, gave a shout-out to Baker on Instagram, calling him 'a ray of sunshine who is watching down laughing with us.' The PGA also paid tribute to Baker's role: 'Dan was an integral part of the film, with producers leaning on him and his deep golf and tournament experience to bring the movie to life. We know Dan would've been so proud to see Happy Gilmore 2 in its final cut — and how excited the golf world is to watch those looking to join in honoring Dan's legacy, you're welcome to make a donation at our link in bio to the Dan Baker PGA Jr. League at @theparkwestpalm, to help aspiring junior golfers reach their dreams.'
