Tiger can't blame this one on the rain.
The world's top golfer was spanked Thursday by NBC funnyman Jimmy Fallon at Woods' own Wii game.
Woods, fresh off of a disappointing performance at the U.S. Open, was so embarrassed by the shellacking he quit before finishing the third and final hole.
"I just got absolutely schooled in my own game," Woods said after the showdown at Times Square. "I certainly want a rematch."
Fallon basked in the glow of defeating the world's number one-ranked golfer after shooting, astonishingly, for par.
Woods shot a double-bogey and a bogey on the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 game before giving up.
"Tiger is the greatest athlete in the world right now," Fallon said, "but I think I'm better at playing with my Wii."
A sea of tourists, on the street and in tour buses, gawked and took pictures as Woods and Fallon appeared on a makeshift stage at Broadway and 43rd Street.
The Brooklyn-born Fallon was confident from the start.
"I think I have a bit of an advantage; this is my home court," he said. "I'm ready to do this."
Woods, wearing a red Nike polo and black pants, never recovered after flubbing his first few shots.
"I'm getting thumped," he said.
