Jimmy Fallon and DJ Khaled take on Tahoe in special challenge golf match

LAKE TAHOE, Nev. - It's on! The gauntlet has been thrown down and DJ Khaled and Jimmy Fallon will be facing off at Edgewood Tahoe this Saturday during the American Century Championship (ACC). The two were talking about golf as Khaled was a guest on Fallon's show when a challenge was made, resulting in the two going head-to-head in a special challenge golf match.

The pair, who aren't in the ACC tournament, will play on the popular par-3 17th hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course after the conclusion of Saturday's third round, at approximately 3:30 p.m. They will play a four-hole match (holes 17 and 18 twice), with the winner receiving a special red cardigan and bragging rights.

"Everybody in Lake Tahoe get ready, we're going to flip it upside down, it's never going to be the same," said Fallon during his show as the golf challenge was made.

Khaled said he beat Charles Barkley "the other day." Those familiar with Barkley's game at Edgewood, it isn't saying a whole lot since Barley is normally near the bottom of the leaderboard.
