History

The tournament was first held in 1996 and ran for five consecutive seasons with Toyota as title sponsor. The inaugural event was won with a healthy margin by rookie professional Maria Hjorth, who went on to win the Order of Merit that year and joined the LPGA Tour in 1998. The tournament was discontinued when the venue instead hosted both the Swedish PGA Championship (women) and the men's Swedish PGA Championship, a Challenge Tour event, simultaneously in 2001. [2]

The event briefly reappeared on the Swedish Golf Tour schedule again in 2013 and 2014 when it served as the season finale and was hosted by Peter Hanson. [3]
