The event was originally hosted as a combined amateur stableford and professional stroke play competition by The Dominican Golf Federation in 2010 and 2011.[4][5]

In 2012, the tournament was announced as an event on the inaugural PGA Tour Latinoamérica season and the focus of the event was shifted towards the professional stroke play, although the pro–am format was retained.[6]
