I am curious to see what brings the previous foes again into contact with one another.
Along with the acquainted faces which are returning, there are many franchise newcomers as properly. Unhealthy Bunny, Travis Kelce, Hayley Joel Osment and Margaret Qualley are just some large names becoming a member of the fold in addition to a bunch of pro-golfers, who’re making cameos.
