The purse in 2020 was $1.8 million, with a winner's share of $305,000.

The tournament debuted 40 years ago in 1984 as the senior division within the PGA Tour's MONY Tournament of Champions at LaCosta Resort in Carlsbad, California. The purse was $100,000 and Orville Moody won by seven strokes to take the winner's share of $30,000.[1] It continued as a division of that tournament through 1994,[2] became a separate event in Puerto Rico in 1995,[3] and relocated to Hualalai in 1997.[4][5]

Beginning in 2018, the tournament went to a Thursday through Saturday schedule.
