Jena Sims fires back at critics who say she got 'Happy Gilmore 2' role through husband Brooks Koepka

"Happy Gilmore 2" star Chris McDonald tells Fox News Digital how it felt to slip back into Shooter McGavin's shoes and how his co-star, Kansas City Chief's tight end Travis Kelce, measured up.

Jena Sims is tired of hearing that she only appeared in Netflix’s "Happy Gilmore 2" just because her husband, LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka, was in it. 

Sims posted a TikTok video on Monday night, where she pushed back on the narrative that she only received a cameo in the hit Adam Sandler sequel because Koepka was one of the main golfers involved. 

"When I actually auditioned for Happy Gilmore 2, but everyone thinks I’m in it because of my husband," Sims captioned her TikTok.

Meanwhile, Koepka was among the golfers who competed against the new "Maxi Golf" league team in the film. He was alongside fellow LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
