History
In the second round of the inaugural tournament in 2015, Spain's Javier Colomo made a hole-in-one the par-4 9th hole, the first par-four ace in the history of all three co-sanctioning tours. It was his final hole of the day, and he had needed birdie or better to make the cut.[2]
In August 2022, it was confirmed that the tournament would return that December after a two-year hiatus.[3]
Heritage Golf Club in Bel-Ombre opened a new course, La Réserve Golf Links in December 2023. The course was co-designed by Peter Matkovich, as well as 2010 Open Championship winner Louis Oosthuizen.[4][5] Oosthuizen went on to win the inaugural event at La Réserve in 2023.[6]
