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.

Phil Mickelson and Jim "Bones" MacKay

The Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of golf, Bones has been on Mickelson’s bag since 1992.

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.

Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal

Known as the "Spanish Armada," Ballesteros and Olazabal played in 15 Ryder Cup matches together, amassing an event-best 11-2-2 record.

John Daly and Kid Rock

Men of the people, both on stage and inside the ropes.

Tiger Woods and Steve Williams

Some relationships shine so bright they burn out before their time. Though the two parted on acrimonious terms, 13 of Woods' 14 majors came with Williams on the bag.
