Aaron Rodgers didn't win the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament over the weekend, but his score did earn him a victory against Charles Barkley.

While competing in The Match in June, Rodgers agreed to let Barkley chop off his man bun if the NBA Hall of Famer finished ahead of him at the American Century Championship. Barkley said that if Rodgers won, he would donate $25,000 to the North Valley Community Foundation in the Green Bay Packers quarterback's hometown of Chico, California.

"Just because you're too cheap to cut your hair, you can't make it a style," Barkley joked while promoting the tournament in Nevada last month, according to Kendra Meinert of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "Man, here's $25. Go down to Fantastic Sam's and get that thing cut off the back of your head. Just because you don't cut your hair, that's not a style. But Aaron's a much better golfer than me, but I'll be happy to give a donation to his charity."

Rodgers finished ninth overall with a score of 50, and Barkley tied for 74th with minus-26 points. Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo won the tournament for the third time.
