In the second round of the inaugural tournament in 2015, Spain's Javier Colomo made a hole-in-one the par-4 9th hole, the first par-four ace in the history of all three co-sanctioning tours. It was his final hole of the day, and he had needed birdie or better to make the cut.[2]
In August 2022, it was confirmed that the tournament would return that December after a two-year hiatus.[3]
Heritage Golf Club in Bel-Ombre opened a new course in December 2023; La Réserve Golf Links. It hosted the 2023 tournament.[4]
