History In the inaugural tournament, Ángel Hidalgo of Spain claimed his maiden Challenge Tour title by posting four consecutive rounds of 68, defying the odds after receiving a last-minute invite.
Fellow Spaniard Alejandro del Rey won the following year, beating Mateusz Gradecki with a birdie at the second extra playoff hole. Italian golfer Francesco Laporta won the 2023 edition, shooting even par in the final round to hang on and win by one stroke over four others.
