The Pope and the head rabbi of the Jewish people [bear with me here] are having a disagreement as to which faith is "correct" - Christianity or Judaism. They decide to settle the argument with a golf game - a priest vs. a rabbi.
The Pope goes back to the Vatican and calls his advisors in for a conference. "We have to win this golf game!" he says.
One of his advisors suggests that he send for Jack Nicklaus, ordain him, and put him up as their entrant. So Jack Nicklaus is flown to Rome, ordained by the Pope himself, and sent off to compete.
After the golf game, Jack returns to the Vatican and says to the Pope, "It was amazing! I had the best golf game of my life! Two holes-in-one, an eagle and two birdies!"
The Pope says, "So you won?"
Jack says, "No, darn it... Rabbi Tiger Woods beat me by three strokes."
