In 2003 it also became an official money event on the European Tour, but since it was played during the same week as the U.S. Open, one of golf's four major championships, the Tour's leading players were not available to play and as such, it had the smallest purse available on the European Tour. It was removed from the European Tour schedule in 2014 but remained on the Challenge Tour.
