Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Mr. Woods were all in front of God at the pearly gates of heaven.

God turns to Nicklaus…”Jack, why do you believe you deserve a seat on my right?” Jack replies “I believe my 18 majors speak for themselves, I’ve won more than anyone who has played the game and I’ve given my life to golf.” “OK Jack, that sounds like a fair point” says God. Jack takes up the seat to God’s right.

God turns to Palmer…”Arnie, why do you believe you deserve a seat on my left?” Arnie replies ” Well, I believe I’ve won my fair share of majors as well, I’ve had many a battle with Jack throughout the years and I think we’ve given golf fans over the world an immense amount of entertainment.” “OK Arnie, that seems fair, take a seat to my left.”

Finally, God turns to Mr Woods…”Tiger, why do you believe you should be up here with me?” Tiger looks at God and replies “I believe you’re in my seat”

I think this joke rings more true everyday! At his average of 2 majors a year, Tiger will reach Jack’s record by the end of 2009 - 34 years old, 11 years ahead of Jack…Enough said! Anyone still doubting that T.Woods is the greatest golfer ever to have played this game so far, is either delirious or the type of golfer that still believes The Shark deserves an invitation to the Masters!

Congratulations Tiger for getting the job done in light of all the emotional baggage!
