Babe Zaharias was an exceptional and multi-talented US athlete and golfer, winning amongst so many other medals and titles, the British Ladies’ Amateur title at Gullane in 1947. She turned professional and went on to win every major ladies professional title before she died of cancer in 1956 aged just 45 years.

The Babe Zaharias tournament is held to perpetuate her memory and has a long history of being played for in the East of Scotland. The Trophy was played for over Torphin Hill GC for many years before moving around the area. We are very grateful to East Lothian Ladies County Association (ELLCA) for ensuring the tournament has continued to be played in recent years and to their great fund raising activities for cancer charities associated with the event.
