Golf fans all say the same thing as Scottie Scheffler gets arrested again (on Happy Gilmore 2)

PGA Tour superstar Scottie Scheffler is not just an unbelievable golfer, he's a very decent actor too! 

Hundreds of golf fans have rushed on to social media to express their admiration for Scheffler's acting skills following today's release of Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix.

The movie is the sequel to the popular Happy Gilmore film of 1996.

Without giving too much away, Scheffler, who won his fourth career major title at The Open at Royal Portrush last week, has a number of funny one-liners in Happy Gilmore 2. 

He also gets arrested, again! 

For those none the wiser, Scheffler (actually in real life) got arrested ahead of his second round tee time at the 2024 US PGA at Valhalla. 

Scheffler tried to drive into the golf club during heavy traffic following a fatality in the area.

He was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer.

Scheffler's mugshot in an orange jumpsuit then immediately went viral.

But he was soon let free in order to still compete in the PGA.

He went on to finish an incredible tied eighth given the circumstances. 

"First of all I was freaking out because I had somehow gone from driving into the golf course to a jail cell and I still don't know how that happened exactly," said Scheffler when later reacting to the incident on Netflix's Full Swing. "It never felt real." 

As we say, we won't spoil much more for you if you've yet to watch Happy Gilmore 2, but Scheffler's appearance in jail is comedy gold.

Some consider Scheffler deserves an Oscar for his cameo performance. 

"Just finished Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s such a good watch and Scottie Scheffler has so many funny one liners," commented one fan.

Another tweeted: "Scottie scheffler was so goddamn good in Happy Gilmore 2. Who knew?"

"Give Scottie an Oscar already, absolutely class from the World No.1 in Happy Gilmore 2," wrote one. 

Other fans have also been pleased to see Scheffler's personality shine through. 

"I don’t want to hear anyone saying anything about Scottie Scheffler lacking a personality ever again, just watch Happy Gilmore 2; he steals the whole freaking movie!" commented one fan. 

Head over to X / Twitter now and you can see just how many golf fans are applauding Scheffler's work on Happy Gilmore 2. 

A number of other Tour stars feature in the film, including Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, John Daly, Tony Finau, Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson and Will Zalatoris.
