Tiger Woods, Nancy Lopez, and my parents. |

Off the LPGA: Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Jim Carey. That would be amazing!!! I love all Jim Carey movies, MJ is my favorite athlete, and Barkley is a blast. |
| Cathryn Bristow |

|
Sir Bob Charles, Annika, Tiger, and Me. They are all icons and Sir Bob is a legend. |
| Jane Chin |

My dream pairing would be Ben Hogan (because he has a great swing), Tiger Woods (world's #1 player), Justin Timberlake (he loves golf and he's cute), and Zach Johnson (I also love his composure on the course!). |
| Tanya Dergal |
Mexico
|
David Duval - great attitude, real person. Jack Nicklaus - so much experience, always a smile, and he takes time to acknowledge everyone. |
| Tamie Durdin (not a rookie but participated in rookie orientation) |
Australia
|
Karrie Webb (all time great Australian player) and Lorena Ochoa (I want to see what the best plays like). |
| Mina Harigae |
United States

Lorena Ochoa and Yani Tseng. I think I can learn a lot from both their games since Lorena is arguably the best player on Tour and Yani is the leader in birdies. I want to see what it takes to score like them. |
