The LPGA has the Masters on its mind this week, like many golfers.
To get into the spirit of the week, the social media team got a few of the ladies to pick a winner.
Everyone has their favorite, but to see who fellow professional golfers pick is always interesting.

They posted their picks on a social graphic, and the variety of players was impressive.
Minjee Lee, Min Woo Lee's sister, gave her pick. To no one's surprise, she is sticking to family lines.
"Hellooo, obviously Min woo haha, I've gotta be biased," she wrote.
Jeeno Thitikul picked Ludvig Åberg as the guy who will put on the green jacket Sunday evening.
Japanese star Ayaka Furue went with a fellow countryman and picked Hideki Matsuyama to win the Masters a second time.
Lastly, Solheim Cup star Megan Khang made a choice that has crossed everyone's mind this year.
"Really pulling for Rory [McIlroy] to get the grand slam done this year," Kang wrote.
All four of the ladies' picks have a good shot at winning the first major championship of the season.

McIlroy is one of the betting favorites as he already has two wins this season. Meanwhile, Åberg won at the Genesis Invitational but missed the cut in his last two starts.
Matsuyama opened the year in historic fashion at the Sentry to win but has been quiet since then. Lee recently got over the hump and won his first PGA Tour title at the Texas Children's Houston Open a couple of weeks ago. He is in good form and could do something special in Augusta.
However, seeing the LPGA interacting with the PGA Tour is excellent. It is the Masters week, so it is one of those tournaments everyone loves, but seeing the support is good for the future.
