Four-Ball is the most common form of play in Western Pennsylvania. The WPG Four-Ball Championship was first played in 1939, and winners of the inaugural were L.R. Siebert and Jack Benson. The Siebert and Benson team also won second in 1940. Originally open only to teams with members from the same WPGA Member Club, the event is no open any players who reside in the Western Pennsylvania region who meet the Handicap Index eligibility requirements. The championship is thirty-six holes of stroke play.
