Jimmy Fallon beats DJ Khaled in first annual Cardigan Classic golf game with $100K to charity of his choice
Jimmy Fallon and DJ Khaled faced off in the first annual Cardigan Classic golf game on Lake Tahoe in Nevada.
The match at Edgewood Tahoe Resort was a funny four-hole charity tourney with one “breakfast ball” and one mulligan (a k a do-overs), and the winner got a red cardigan plus $100K to their charity of choice.
Fallon won, along with the org SeriousFun, if you’re keeping score.
It was all part of the 35th American Century Championship, where celebs who hit the links included Travis and Jason Kelce, Miles Teller, Tony Romo, Roger Clemens and Ray Romano — who just showed off his home golf course to Architectural Digest.
The American Century Championship is aired by NBC, the home of Fallon’s “The Tonight Show.”
Also playing was comic Nate Bargatze, plus NFL legend Jerry Rice, MLB star David Wells and NBA greats Ray Allen and Chandler Parsons, among other stars.
After winning, Fallon told “The Tonight Show” audience how he’d challenged the music star to the four-hole contest, joking, “I don’t even know DJ Khaled,” but adding he’s been a guest on the show before.
“We had the most fun two humans could have,” Fallon said, adding that they played the course’s 17th and 18th holes two times.
“You don’t realize how much pressure it is,” Fallon said of playing in front of thousands of fans. “You get so nervous… I don’t know how athletes do it.”
“I hit a tree with a golf ball, and it bounced off the tree onto the green,” Fallon said of one lucky shot he managed, adding that the game was delayed because it started raining.
In the end, Fallon emerged victorious with the cardigan. “This means nothing,” Fallon joked. “Why am I so excited?”
The former “SNL” star hinted that the one-hour match will air via NBC, but was mysterious about when and where.
Travis Kelce had an odd start to the championship on Friday, The Post previously reported, when a wayward shot hit a spectator in the arm, and the Chiefs star later hit a second bystander.
