Scottie Scheffler's 'Happy Gilmore 2' PGA cameo offers arrest, jail parody. 'Oh no, not again'
Scottie Scheffler makes a few appearances in "Happy Gilmore 2" and a few of his scenes poke fun at his Louisville arrest during the 2024 PGA Championship tournament.
Here's what to know.
As previously reported by the Courier Journal, Scheffler makes a cameo in Adam Sandler's "Happy Gilmore 2" along with several other pro golfers.

In the movie, Scheffler gets arrested for punching someone on the green. As the cops are coming to get him, he says, "Oh no, not again" — which is a reference to when he got arrested before the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship in Louisville. As he's being handcuffed in the movie, he says: "I know the drill."
Shortly after this scene, Scheffler is seen in a prison cell watching the competition he got disqualified from on TV. He has an interaction with one of his cellmates who wants to change the channel.
"Frankie, sit your ass down, we're watching golf," Scheffler says.
In a final scene during the credits, it is revealed Scheffler has been in his cell watching golf for three days. The bailiff asks him if he'd like to make a call, to which Scheffler replies: "It depends. What's for dinner?" After the bailiff tells him they're having chicken fingers, Scheffler responds "I'll stick around another night."

This isn't the first time his Louisville arrest has been the source of jokes. When it was announced that Scheffler was the 2025 PGA Champion, Scheffler's sponsor, Nike, shared an image with the text "Best player in the world? Guilty."

Scheffler was arrested trying to get into the course at Valhalla on May 17, 2024. A fatal accident caused traffic to halt before the second round of the PGA Championship. Trouble started for Scheffler when he switched lanes to avoid the traffic and get to his tee time.
According to the citation, "(Scheffler) refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective (Bryan) Gillis to the ground. Detective Gillis suffered pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knee."
He spent only 72 minutes in jail before he returned to Valhalla to compete. Charges were later dropped.
"Happy Gilmore 2" is only available to stream on Netflix.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Soars Thanks To ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
More than two decades after it first hit theaters, Happy Gilmore is back, only the second installment in what has now become a franchise isn't on the big screen. Happy Gilmore 2 arrived on Netflix on July 25. The film quickly became a top 10 success on the platform, and the movie is so popular that even a few music syncs have helped a handful of classic rock acts surge on streaming sites. Lynyrd Skynyrd Scores a Streaming Surge Of all the musical acts featured in Happy Gilmore 2, the one that stands out thanks to an impressive streaming boost is Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band's 1973 cut 'Tuesday's Gone' returns in the new film, which some fans of the original may have expected, as it was featured in Happy Gilmore. The rock group's ballad jumped 44% in terms of total on-demand streams in the United States during the movie's opening weekend, according to Billboard. The track soared from 525,000 streams to 756,000 between July 25 and 28, according to numbers shared with the music magazine by Luminate. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Deep Cut Finds a New Audience Though it never charted upon its initial release, 'Tuesday's Gone' has become a fan favorite among those who love Lynyrd Skynyrd. Originally featured on the band's debut album Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd, the song stands apart from the outfit's better-known, uptempo tracks like 'Sweet Home Alabama' and 'What's Your Name?' Though the tune doesn't appear on any Billboard lists this frame, a growth of more than 40% on streaming outlets is impressive for a decades-old cut. Foreigner and Tom Petty Also Gain Ground Lynyrd Skynyrd might be leading the way, but the rockers aren't the only ones benefiting thanks to being included in Happy Gilmore 2. The Replacements' track 'Swingin' Party' experienced the biggest percentage gain, more than doubling its plays from 15,000 to 38,000 streams. Foreigner's 'Juke Box Hero' enjoyed an 18% bump in streaming during the same window, while Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 'The Waiting' rose by 15%.
