DJ Khaled's love for golf is pretty evident among his fans. The American music artist, who is an avid golfer and often spends time on the greens, is gearing up for an exciting 4-hole match against the host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon.
NBC released the details of the upcoming enthralling match, titled The Cardigan Classic: Fallon vs. Khaled, between the stars. It will be a head-to-head match in a special challenge.
The golf match will take place on Friday, September 13, at 11:35 p.m. ET at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The tournament will specifically take place on two signature holes of the venue: the par-3 17th and par-5 18th.
Notably, it's a four-hole tournament, but the players will only play a four-hole match on these two holes. However, there is no prize money for the winner, but they will get a custom-made red cardigan and bragging rights.

"I want to go pro"- When DJ Khaled reflected on his desire to golf at a professional level
For the music mogul DJ Khaled, golf is not just a hobby—he takes the game very seriously. He genuinely loves the game and enjoys playing whenever he can.
His passion for the sport is so immense that he even aspires to play at a professional level. In one of his interviews with Fox News Digital in 2023, DJ Khaled reflected on his love for the game. He said (via Fox News):
"I want to go pro. The reason why I say that is, if for some reason I don’t go pro, I want to be able to play in some real big matches."
Additionally, Khaled opened up about the beauty of the game, saying:
"Golf is a beautiful sport. Golf is like life: It’s not easy, but it’s beautiful. Every day, you try to perfect [your game]. You’re battling yourself to be greater and greater every day on the course. It’s a special addiction because just the way you hit the ball, and you get that sound, you want to keep getting that same love every time you hit the ball. I loved it when I was kid, but now it’s a full-time thing to me. You have to add golfer beside my name now because I am a true golfer now."
Now, fans eagerly await the exclusive match between Jimmy Fallon and DJ Khaled later this month.
