In 2010, the tournament moved to the Fancourt Golf Estate in George in the Western Cape. The tournament is now played on the Montagu, Outeniqua as well as The Links golf courses for the first three rounds, with the final round played on the Montagu golf course.
The tournament was founded in 1996, and was co-sanctioned by the European Tour for the first two years, with enhanced prize money and fields as a result. Those first two events were won by former World Number 1 Nick Price and top South African player Mark McNulty.
