Fallon, who is not known for taking it easy in his face-offs with the celebrities who stop by _The Tonight Show,_ made the game even harder for Grant by bringing in a ringer—NBA champion Charles Barkley. The game kicked off with each player hitting a golf ball towards a green screen at the back of the studio and riding a golf cart to the starting line. From there it was a race as Grant, Barkley and Fallon chased their balls through the back of _The Tonight Show_ studio, eventually making it back onto the studio stage where the hole was waiting. While Barkley would normally be the favorite, due to his career as a professional athlete, he is [not exactly known](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLkEPb5DzI "undefined") for his golf skills. Yet the champ managed to sink his ball first—until Grant, who had warned them that losing made him “very, very nasty” — knocked his ball out of the hole and hit it down the hallway. Fallon took advantage of the confusion to hit his ball in for the win. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3706895/hugh-grant-charles-barkley-hallway-golf/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3706895/hugh-grant-charles-barkley-hallway-golf/"},"headline":"Watch Hugh Grant and Charles Barkley Face Off in Hallway Golf","datePublished":"2015-02-12T21:02:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:48.644Z","description":"It's like the Masters, but in a hallway","url":"https://time.com/3706895/hugh-grant-charles-barkley-hallway-golf/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3706895/hugh-grant-charles-barkley-hallway-golf/","name":"Watch Hugh Grant and Charles Barkley Face Off in Hallway Golf"}}]}] ```
