History

It is one of two Korn Ferry Tour events in the Bahamas, along with The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic. Both events were first played in January 2017 starting on a Sunday and finishing on a Wednesday, rather than the standard Thursday–Sunday schedule. [1]

Due to high winds in the inaugural event, the cut line fell at 11-over-par 155, the highest in Web.com Tour history. [2] The par-4 12th hole played to a stroke average of 5.008, making it the hardest in tour history relative to par. [3]
