Here's more on golf influencer Paige Spiranac's role in 'Happy Gilmore 2.'
After nearly 30 years, Happy Gilmore is getting back to the golf course. Adam Sandler revives his titular character in "Happy Gilmore 2," taking the monster cast that he had in the first one and expanding it.
Sandler left no stone unturned, reaching out to all corners of the entertainment world for cameo appearances. While the most talked about are Post Malone, Bad Bunny, wrestlers MJF and Becky Lynch, and tight end Travis Kelce, there are more active professional golfers in the movie and some golf influencers.
One such influencer is Paige Spiranac. Her playing career is behind her after golfing collegiately at both Arizona and San Diego State. She attempted to qualify for the LPGA in 2017 but was unsuccessful. Around that time, she found modeling and social media. Spiranac then infused both of those career paths with golf and became an influencer. For those thinking that she is all looks and doesn't know the game, along with being a college conference champion, Spiranac started writing a monthly column for Golf Magazine in 2018.

What is Paige Spiranac's role in 'Happy Gilmore 2?'
Fans first caught a glimpse of Spiranac's cameo in the teaser trailer for the movie. She plays a worker at a golf simulator. Since Gilmore hasn't played golf since the tournament at the end of the first movie, he decides to go to the simulator to find his swing again. Everyone realizes who he is and crowds around him, cheering him on.
Spiranac, seen on the left in the clip above, is stunned as Gilmore rips a giant hole in the screen and wall. The building erupts in applause, though, and she starts laughing it off.

When does Paige Spiranac appear in 'Happy Gilmore 2?'
Spiranac is a talented golfer in her own right. She is known for her golf influencer videos, and when she was linked to the movie, there was speculation that she may have a role in a pro-am, similar to how Bob Barker worked in 1996.
Instead, she was given the role of the worker at the golf simulator. She appears to be a bay assistant, so someone who helps set up the simulator and provides a rundown of how it works.
It's unclear at what point in the movie she pops up, but considering she's present for the start of Gilmore's comeback training, it's probably at some point late in the first act or early in the second act.
