In 2012, it was included on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica schedule. From 2007 to 2011, the tournament was part of the TPG Tour, the official professional golf tour in Argentina.
First held in 2005 as the Roberto de Vicenzo Classic, it is named after one of Argentina's most successful golfers, Roberto de Vicenzo.
