The tournament was slotted into the 2020 season as the penultimate event, with the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai following the week after on the Earth course at the same venue. It was originally intended to be a one-off event.[1]

Antoine Rozner won the inaugural event with a 25-under-par 263 total. He shot a final round 64 to jump ahead of overnight leader Andy Sullivan; who shot a 61 in the first round.[2]

The event returned in the 2021 season and was sponsored by Aviv Clinics. Again it was the penultimate event to the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.[3]
