The Lehman Cup began in 1936 in honor of Vivian W. Lehman a long-time member of Westmoreland Country Club and a Past President of the WGAWP. It was played as a Match Play handicapped tournament until 1958 when it became a two day Better-Ball-of-Partner event. At the time, the WGAWP held A and B tournaments for players of lower and higher handicaps. Initially the partners for the Lehman were a A Player paired with a B Player. The Vivian Lehman Trophy is displayed at the Westmoreland Country Club.
