Scottie Scheffler’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ cameo prompts FedEx Cup chicken shack

Fans of the Fedex St. Jude championship this weekend can be like Scottie Scheffler.

Netflix presents “Scottie’s Chicken Shack” during the event, a nod to the role of the quadruple major winner in “Happy Gilmore 2.”

In the film, released on Netflix on July 25, Scheffler makes a playful cameo which includes him to hit the Golfer Maxi Team that he faces and finds himself in the handcuffs like an ironic eye to the famous fuse of the titular character. The scene also refers to the real arrest of Scheffler by the Louisville metro police outside the Valhalla Golf Club after trying to lead to the entrance to the PGA 2024 championship site.

The joke continues in the detention cell while an officer approaches Scheffler and says: “That’s three days – of course, don’t you want to make this call?”

“It depends. What is for dinner?” Scheffler request. The officer says that the chicken fingers, which prompted Scheffler to answer: “I’m going to stay another night” in a viral clip.

The TPC Southwind chicken hut includes a Scheffler photo of the scene where fans can “make their time”. The menu includes classic chicken fingers, chicken fingers in memphis honey and wet fingers with lemon pepper trapped.

Scheffler described the experience of “lots of pleasure” and said that Adam Sandler and his team had done a good job to make golfers comfortable.

“This is one of the things I told them after having finished filming the film,” you do a great job, I think the film will go very well “,” he said on Wednesday. “But above all, everyone on the film set was huge. Everyone was relaxed. They worked hard but they had fun while they did it.”

Scheffler was part of a plethora of past and current golfers to appear in the film, notably Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, Rory McILroy, Bryson Dechambeau and Brooks Koepka.

He added that his family and friends loved the film, although Scheffler – never loving the spotlight – said that he was on the big screen was a unique experience.

“I think it’s a little weird to see you-we are sitting there for the Prime Minister, and each time I came on the screen, it’s just a strange feeling and something I am certainly not used to,” he said. “But as I said, we had a ton of pleasure in filming it. It seems that the public reception was really good.”

Scheffler won a victory in the championship opened last month.
