Ideally they would list the one player they didn't want to play with, too.

Tutta & Gimmee Creamer & Mannika Aza & Pressel Lewis & MHL Li
Dumbo & The Hulk Danielle Amacapanne & Dottie Pepper Nelly & the ECP Lexi & Ryu Fassi & Uehara

UPDATE: Just thought of a better team ... correction made.

Great move by In Gee. If pairing with Henderson doesn't get her TV time, nothing will.

Great move by In Gee. If pairing with Henderson doesn't get her TV time, nothing will. I was thinking the same thing about the In Gee, Henderson Pairing. The last Tournament Henderson was only three under, but they still showed her three or more times. Nothing against Henderson, she seems pretty nice. It's just that the LPGA always put her in a featured pairing, for some reason.

Even though Canada has less than 12% of the population in the USA, but it's an outsize subscription rate to Golf Channel all because of one player.

Brooke and In Gee's skills should complement each other well. Brooke also may have wanted to avoid pairing up with her countryman Alena Sharp because she actually wants a a chance to win. Good strategic choice by both.
I wonder if Lexi and Nasa bonded through USWO misery?
Really looking forward to this event.

Doesn't change my thinking about the focus on one player. At the expense of ignoring deserving Korean players.

What happened to best friends Salas & Kang? I hope Shin & Choi pair up again as well as the Burka Bros.

We had more than 1,500 posts and more than 47,000 views on our 2021 USWO thread; but unfortunately we didn't have any of your contribution. By the way, 3putt is alive and kicking over there; hope you'll join us for the fun!

The Old Ko was assigned as DK's "baby sis" when she joined the LPGA in 2014, so that pairing is no surprise to me.

Looking at those pairings, with the exception of the Korda's it looks like they picked out of a hat.
I got my credentials this morning and am looking forward to driving up to Michigan for this one.

I didn't see any teams there, just the players in the field?
