The event, which was first played in 2017, has been slated to be played in South Korea. The event features players from South Korea to be invited into the competition.
After three years at originally intended host, the Club at Nine Bridges, the event moved in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions it created in South Korea.

Justin Thomas won this event twice in the first three years in South Korea.
