\"It ain't over yet,\" he wrote. \"The way I see it… we've only just begun.\"

Netflix announced in May that Sandler will reprise his role from the 1996 comedy \"Happy Gilmore.\"

Along with Sandler and McDonald, the film also starred Julie Bowen, Carl Weathers and Bob Barker.

It's unclear what \"Happy Gilmore 2\" will be about, but in August, Sandler confirmed that Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce will make an appearance in the highly anticipated sequel.

Sandler also teased cameos from \"many golfers\" in the upcoming film.
