History edit

The event was held for the first time in 1993 as the Collingtree Park Challenge and was played as the Stockley Park Challenge in 1994. There was a nine-year break before it made a one-off return in 2004 as the Donnington Grove Computacenter English Challenge Open.

The English Challenge returned to the schedule again in 2010 at Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa in Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk. Australia's Daniel Gaunt won the tournament by one stroke from English amateur Tommy Fleetwood and Scotland's Craig Lee.[1] The event was played Stoke by Nayland again in 2011 and 2012.

The event returned again in 2016 at the Heythrop Park Resort in Enstone as the Bridgestone Challenge.[2] In 2017, it moved to Luton Hoo and used modified Stableford scoring system.[3] The 2018 event was again at Luton Hoo but returned to the 72-hole stroke play format.
