After weeks of golf fans getting a steady trickle of info regarding the upcoming “Happy Gilmore 2,” the faucet seems to have been turned off of late. But on Tuesday, one major champ turned it back on.

Jordan Spieth hopped on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio with Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz and spilled at least a few beans regarding the long-awaited sequel. Spieth confirmed that he will be a part of the movie along with several other current tour pros as well as some of the game’s biggest legends.

Well, if his part doesn’t get cut, that is. Spieth was asked about his acting skills and if he has a speaking role, and here was his response.

“If they use it, yes,” Spieth said. “I was up there with Rickie. When I was up there it was like Lee Trevino, Nicklaus, Freddie, we had Corey Pavin. In our scene next to me was Rickie and Collin and Xander and Keegan. So, I mean, you know, yeah, it was really fun. It was super cool to see. There’s a lot of other guys that were there before and after that have bigger parts. But it was just, it was wildly entertaining. I’m interested to see what comes out of it.”

Those are some big names. And that’s not even counting the “lot of other guys” Spieth mentions. Or John Daly, who also confirmed he was part of filming. Not that we should be surprised considering the original ‘Happy Gilmore’ also serves as a time capsule for the 1990s PGA Tour.

“I’m not actually sure how much I’m allowed to say to be honest, but it was something that, I mean, I was such a fan,” Spieth continued. “Weren’t we all growing up? Like, people who don’t know golf are like, ‘Oh, have you ever seen Happy Gilmore?’ And it’s like, well, we get the opportunity I’m gonna go try and be in it. And Adam Sandler was like just exactly what everyone says about him. I mean, the nicest guy, the funniest guy, just comes natural to him, and he’s so involved, he’s so appreciative. It was really a cool experience.”

Yeah, probably best to leave it at that, Jordan. As we learned from Christopher McDonald, AKA Shooter McGavin, movie studios take those NDAs pretty seriously.
