It debuted 33 years ago in 1988 as the Aetna Challenge,[2] and is managed by Octagon. The purse in 2016 was $1.6 million with a winner's share of $240,000.[1]

For 2021, the event moves to Tiburón Golf Club, but on the Black Course, which will be the first time it has been used in professional play. Tiburón's Gold Course is used for the QBE Challenge and CME Group Tour Championship, but this will be the first use of the secondary course.
