Chris Rodgers of England won the inaugural event, and in doing so claiming his maiden Asian Tour title. He finished 15 under par, 4 ahead of Indians Jeev Milkha Singh and Amandeep Johl. In 2007 Malaysia's Airil Rizman claimed his maiden Asian Tour title with a two stroke triumph over Scott Hend of Australia.

In May 2022, it was anticipated that the tournament would return in December 2022 on the Asian Tour as the CNS-Pakistan Open with a record prize fund of US$500,000. However, this never came to fruition.
