The tournament was revealed as part of the 2024 European Tour schedule announcement in August 2023.[1][2] The tournament is a limited-field pro-am with 60 professionals playing alongside 60 amateurs in the first three rounds, with the final round taking place between the professionals only.[3] The tournament will be played biannually.[4]
Tommy Fleetwood won the inaugural edition, birdieing the final hole to beat Thriston Lawrence and Rory McIlroy by one shot.[5] The inaugural event also gained attraction due to American club professional Ken Weyand being given a sponsor's invite into the event. He only managed to make two birdies during the week, finishing at 53-over-par; 72 shots behind the winning score.[6]
