Of all the people that you’ve given Masters tickets to, who appreciated it most? That's the latest question of the Golfweek Masters Survey.

A badge to the Masters is the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory golden ticket of golf. A contestant can purchase up to eight, which sounds like a decent number until you factor in family, coaches, managers, and other members of "the team." That doesn't leave many to dole out to friends and extended family.

Matt Kuchar likes to hook up his college friends with practice round tickets and to see the joy on the faces of their kids. Rickie Fowler remembers some friends who drove through the night when some tickets became available last minute and Adam Scott remembers the tears in the eyes of a mate who had come all the way from Australia. Who appreciated getting tickets the most? We asked, they answered. Check out the responses below.

I think my buddy who's a golf pro in Australia. It was the tears in his eyes that gave it away. He's the only one who has cried.

I gave Monday-Wednesday tickets to a guy who I had bought a couple of cars off of and he'd been trying to go for 15-20 years and it never worked out.

Coach Herb Page (former men’s golf coach at Kent State). He’s been very meaningful to my career both as a person and a player. He’s always cheering me on.

Everyone who's gotten one from me over the years has been very appreciative of it. But the one person that jumps to mind is a friend, an older gentleman named Avi Armon. There were several guys my age that played a lot together when I was a kid and he would always come out and watch us play and one of those guys who’d say, "Hole this shot and I’ll give you five bucks," or something like that. He was always a really good guy, good family friend and someone who just loved the game of golf.

Everybody. It’s such a treat to come to the Masters how could you not give your highest appreciation.

My dad. He is the one who got me into the game. Just seeing him walking the course makes me feel good inside because being at the Masters is probably something he never dreamed of growing up in Topeka, Kansas.

My parents and in-laws. I think they really appreciate what an accomplishment it was to get there. They’ve been four times and every year feels just as special.

I've had a couple times where last minute we ended up having a ticket or two to spare and they never went to waste. I remember a couple of my buddies, some wakeboard guys, live in Orlando and happen to have a couple spare tickets for the weekend, and they popped in the car, drove through the night and came straight up.

We donate a couple badges every year to our foundation (Brighter Days) and it’s nice that people spend the money which goes to a good cause and they, in turn, get to enjoy the day.

Keegan Bradley​

Probably my dad. He loves coming and walking around.

My mom. She got a clubhouse badge and that was her dream.

It's typically been family for tournament days. On Monday, I usually bring college friends, who take their kids, and there’s something about seeing the Masters through the eyes of a kid – you can tell how excited they are to be there – that gets me excited as well.

Our good friend Robin, who lives in Montana. She came with her husband right before he died and she always mentions how wonderful it was and how she cherishes those memories.

It’s hard to say one person, but I would say to know and experience the reaction of your friends, especially older friends, who have never had the opportunity to go, it’s a gift to be able to see that.

Xander Schauffele​

Probably one of my dad’s friends. Getting a ticket is tough and them knowing me for a while and being able to support me made it extra special. Being on property as a golf fan is as good as it gets.

Anybody that goes for the first time, doesn't matter who it is. But probably one of my college teammates, he’s a year older than me and still one of my dearest friends. He brought his dad, who had battled cancer, got through it and it came back and within six to eight weeks, he passed away. So, that was their last hurrah doing something like that as father and son. And I made a hole-in-one in the Par 3 Contest and gave him the ball. It’s the only one I ever made.
