Jimmy Fallon Beats Tiger Woods in Own Game, Wii-Style

I really can't think of anything more demoralizing than losing to Jimmy Fallon. At anything. (I suppose I should mention this is a spoiler alert for the handful of diehards who faithfully patronize "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.") But that's what happened to the world's best golfer this morning.

After accepting Fallon's challenge earlier in the week, Tiger Woods made his way to Manhattan and proceeded to get whupped in his own game, Wii-style. Yep, that's right, Fallon, a self-proclaimed video game nut (That's mildly tolerable when you're in your early 20s; it's sad when you're in your mid 30s -- how is that not obvious?) "shot" par while Woods went double-bogey, bogey, quitting before the three-hole round was complete.

"I just got absolutely schooled in my own game," Woods said after the showdown at Times Square. "I certainly want a rematch."

Translation: "Next time I see Fallon, I'll have Stevie break his legs." (Moving pictures after the jump.)

Fallon was predictably gracious, vapid:

"Tiger Woods is the biggest athlete in the world right now," Fallon said after the contest. "But I'm better when it comes to playing with my Wii."

On the upside, it could be worse for Tiger. He could be Bill Simmons. Bacon reminded me that Simmons lost to Woods in "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07." Which means that, by the transitive property, Fallon > Tiger > Simmons. And, well, that's depressing.
