Was Paige Spiranac in the Happy Gilmore 2 film?

Paige Spiranac was one of the many celebrity cameos in the Happy Gilmore 2 sequel. Though she has relatively less screen time, she played a massive role in helping Adam Sandler's character boost up his golf career.

Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2 saw Paige Spiranac play the role of Wendy, who is an employee at Dick's Sporting Goods. She helped Gilmore pick out a fresh set of golf clubs from equipment giant LA Golf, which she is an ambassador of in real life. Her character also helped the former hockey player out with practicing inside the store's golf simulator.

In a recent press release, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model shared her journey onto the big screen. She explained that her casting into the film was accidental. Here's what she had to say about the process (via SI):

"There was a fake casting announcement that was posted to X a long time ago, and I jokingly said I was ready with a picture of me recreating the iconic Happy Place scene, and the post went viral! I didn’t think much about it or that it would actually get me a small role, but then my agent told me I would be in the movie!”

Spiranac went on to thank her fans, followers, and fellow golf enthusiasts for making her photo go viral and amplifying it to the casting crew.

The sequel to the fan-favorite golf comedy film is now available for streaming on Netflix.
