Jimmy Demaret and Ben Hogan

You wouldn’t think the nightlife-loving Demaret and introverted Hogan would make such a marvelous pair, but the duo won six team events – including the Inverness Invitational four times – together.

Happy Gilmore and Chubbs Peterson

A closer bond between player and teacher, there is not.

Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller

Now in their 17th year together in the 18th-hole tower -- breaking the previous mark held by ABC's Jim McKay and Dave Marr – Hicks’ affable, commanding tone and Miller’s knowledgeable, occasionally-acerbic conviction make for the perfect broadcast tandem.

C.B. MacDonald and Seth Raynor

MacDonald, godfather of American golf and artist of such venues as National Golf Links and Chicago Golf Club, and his protégé Raynor (Fishers Island, Camargo) laid a foundation of architecture that’s still cherished and replicated to this day.

University of Houston Golf Team

When it comes to program success, it's hard to top Houston's 16 NCAA Championships, eight individual national titles and 44 All-Americans.

Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts

Co-founders of Augusta National Golf Club. Enough said.

Tiger Woods and Steve Williams
