History

The inaugural tournament in 2022 was won by Clément Sordet of France who birdied the first extra hole to defeat home player Ruan Conradie in a playoff.[1]

In 2023, South African J. J. Senekal shot an opening round 62 to win his maiden Challenge Tour title in wire-to-wire style.[2]

In 2024, it served as the opening tournament on the Challenge Tour season, and marked the first of a four-tournament South African swing.[3]
