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.

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
