The event is hosted at the Tom Kite-designed Coco Beach Golf Course of the Grand Reserve Country Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The event is over 70 years old, having started in 1956 and finished in 1967. As an alternative to the WGC-Cadillac Championship and, later, the WGC-Dell Match Play, it returned to the PGA Tour in 2008. There was also a brief revival of the event on the Tour de las Américas in 2004 and 2005 under the sponsorship of American Express.
