If any golfer could produce the perfect Happy Gilmore swing, you’d put good money on it being Tiger Woods.
The sequel to the 1996 Adam Sandler sports comedy is finally on our screens, after Netflix released the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2 on Friday.
With Sandler reprising his role as the titular unprofessional hockey player-turned-golf star, fans will once again get to enjoy all of his antics that made the first film an all-time classic.
This includes the iconic ‘Happy Gilmore’ swing, which has since become a shot many have set their sights on mastering.
The famous drive consists of a run-up to the tee, before hammering the ball as hard as possible.
It is a shot that plenty have tried and failed to recreate, including some of golf’s biggest stars.
Plenty, but not sporting great Woods, who had no such trouble when he lined up a ridiculous effort back in 2021.
In a special challenge put together by TaylorMade to mark the film’s 25th anniversary, some of the golf’s biggest names were tasked with attempting the ‘Happy Gilmore’ swing.
This included Woods, who was joined by fellow PGA Tour stars Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa, Matthew Wolf and Tommy Fleetwood.
With all of them dressed in personalised Boston Bruins’ jerseys, just like Gilmore in the film, the 15-time major champion stepped up first.
