Nearly three decades after Adam Sandler’s hockey-player-turned-golfer first graced our screens, Happy Gilmore is making his comeback – and this time, he’s bringing Subway along for the ride. The sandwich chain is celebrating the Netflix sequel “Happy Gilmore 2” with a special meal deal and collectible cups that’ll have fans saying “the price is right.”
Starting July 10, you can transform any Subway combo or daily featured sub into a Happy Gilmore Meal for just $1 extra. That upgrade gets you one of four limited-edition collectible cups featuring artwork by renowned sports illustrator, animator and director Mickey Duzyj. The cups showcase fan-favorite characters from both the original movie and the upcoming sequel.
What’s Actually in the Happy Gilmore Meal
Here’s how it works: Sub lovers can upgrade any combo or Subway’s Meal of the Day special for an extra dollar to get the collectible cup experience. The daily lineup rotates throughout the week with these featured subs:
- Monday: Cold Cut Combo
- Tuesday: Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki
- Wednesday: Meatball Marinara
- Thursday: Hot Honey Pepperoni
- Friday: Tuna
- Saturday: The Ultimate BMT
- Sunday: The Philly
Each Happy Gilmore Meal comes with limited-edition packaging that includes a QR code linking to “Subway’s Happy Place” – a digital experience inspired by Happy’s iconic dream sequences from the original movie.
The Collectible Cups Worth Keeping
The four collectible cups feature detailed artwork celebrating key characters:
- Happy Gilmore – The legendary golfer himself
- Shooter McGavin – Happy’s PGA tour rival and nemesis (played by Christopher McDonald)
- Hal L. – The former Silver Acres orderly (played by Ben Stiller)
- Oscar – Happy’s new caddie making his debut in Happy Gilmore 2 (played by Bad Bunny)
These aren’t typical fast-food promotional cups. Mickey Duzyj’s artwork transforms each cup into genuine collectible merchandise that fans will actually want to display.
Happy Gilmore 2: The Long-Awaited Sequel
The sequel hits Netflix on July 25, bringing Adam Sandler back as the anger-management-challenged golfer who accidentally discovered he could outdrive most pros. It’s been almost 30 years since we last saw Happy Gilmore, the long-driving hero who won the Tour Championship in 1996.
Joining the film alongside Sandler are original Happy Gilmore stars Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Christopher McDonald and brand-new co-star Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny), daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler, and Blake Clark. The cast also includes an impressive roster of celebrity cameos: Jackie Sandler, Eric André, Margaret Qualley, Kevin Nealon, John Farley, Lavell Crawford, Cam’ron, Eminem, Post Malone, Dan Patrick, Reggie Bush, Becky Lynch,and many more.
Real Golfers Join the Fun
Some professional golfers have joined the roster, too, including John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and more.
In addition to Sandler, the entire creative team also returns. Original Happy Gilmore co-writer Tim Herlihy is returning to write Happy Gilmore 2, Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan will serve as executive producer, and Happy Gilmore producers Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds also produce.
