Just a day after the men’s golf Major season came to a close in Northern Ireland, some of golf’s best and brightest headed over to New York for the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2.<\/p>\n

The Open champion, Scottie Scheffler<\/a> hot-footed it across the Atlantic to smile for cameras on the red carpet at Jazz at Lincoln Center alongside his wife Meredith<\/a> and the Claret Jug, and he was joined by a few of his defeated challengers, including Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>, Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa.<\/p>\n

As well as some of the world’s leading pros, several past Major winners were also in attendance, such as Michelle Wie, John Daly, Jim Furyk and Fred Couples.<\/p>\n

Mumm said: “What was fun about it, is, normally, making Full Swing, it’s kind of like, I’m invading their turf. And them coming out to the movie set, it was kinda like ‘you’re on our turf now.’<\/p>\n

“But they had a blast. We had so many professional golfers and legends of the game come out to be in the movie and I think people will be really surprised by how much they’re in it.”<\/p>\n
