At the inaugural event in 2012, Brittany Lang won her first LPGA title in a four-way sudden-death playoff. It was the first-ever win on the tour by an alumna of Duke.[2][3] The runners-up were Hee Kyung Seo, Inbee Park, and Chella Choi.[4] After missing a birdie putt at the par-5 18th to win in regulation, Lang birdied the same hole three straight times in the playoff.[5]

In 2015, the tournament moved to Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge, about 18 km south of Grey Silo GC, where it remained for 2016 and 2017.[6]

In 2017, the Manulife LPGA Classic was announced to become Manulife's final tournament as the title sponsor[7] and a new one was never found.[6]
