Barkley and golf have a long-standing relationship as the former NBA star takes a regular swing at the golf course. He worked on his golf swings after the internet trolled him earlier for his weird swing. However, Chuck’s frenemy Shaquille O’Neal regarded him as the worst golf player on the internet. Moreover, the 11x NBA All-Star failed to change the fact on the show.

Grant further took a dig at Chuck’s swing as he said, “You have a special thing. TV show about your swing. You got a comedy swing.” Barkley hysterically replied, “I am a regular old Tiger Woods.” However, Fallon ended up winning the hallway speed golf beating both celebrities in a dramatic finish. 

Chuck dropped truth bombs on Tiger Woods

Even though Barkley respected the golf legend, Tiger Woods, he once took a dig at the legend. When Woods was only 46 years old, Barkley suggested that he should play in the senior league, a league for players above the age of 50. He said, “It is going to be very difficult to compete with those young kids anywayAnd you factor in his injuries… I think the biggest question is going to be if he is gonna play on the Champions Tour?” However, he also admitted that he admired the contribution of Woods to the golf world.
