History
editThe tournament was created as a one-off event after the Volvo China Open, originally scheduled to take place the same week, was postponed. It was played the week after the ISPS Handa Championship in Spain; another one-off event created for the 2022 schedule.[1]
Adri Arnaus won the event by shooting a final-round 65 to tie Oliver Bekker at 11 under-par. Arnaus defeated Bekker in a six hole sudden-death playoff.[2][3]
The event made a return in 2026, now with Estrella Damm as title sponsor.[4]
