The tournament was hosted by Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland.[2] Alex Čejka won the inaugural event ahead of Paul McGinley.[3] The event returned in 2023, with Peter Baker beating Vijay Singh by one shot, with the tournament being shortened to 36 holes due to weather.[4] The event did not return in 2024, with JCB Golf & Country Club hosting LIV Golf's UK event instead.[5][6]
