The tournament was intended to be a one-off event and was played the week before the Tenerife Open, after that event was rescheduled following the postponement of the Portugal Masters, creating a two-week swing of events in the Canary Islands.[1]
On 5 April 2021, it was announced that Rafa Cabrera-Bello would host the event.[2]
Garrick Higgo won the event with an aggregate score of 255.[3][4] This broke the European Tour aggregate scoring record, beating Andy Sullivan's record of 257 previously set in 2020.
