History

In the inaugural tournament, Ángel Hidalgo of Spain claimed his maiden Challenge Tour title by posting four consecutive rounds of 68, defying the odds after receiving a last-minute invite.^[3]

Fellow Spaniard Alejandro del Rey won the following year, beating Mateusz Gradecki with a birdie at the second extra playoff hole.^[4][5] Italian golfer Francesco Laporta won the 2023 edition, shooting even par in the final round to hang on and win by one stroke over four others.
