the grand prize—an all-inclusive, firstclass trip on a private jet for four. A live and silent auction will also take place during the event, and all proceeds benefit Elevate Phoenix. A professional golfer for more than 30 years, Lehman is the only golfer to have been awarded the Player of the Year honor on all three PGA tours: the PGA, the Web.com and the Champions tours.
