The event held its inaugural edition at Delray Beach, moved to Boca West for the second edition until finally finding a more permanent home at Key Biscayne.

Given its long history, the event was once also a part of the Grand Prix Tennis Tour. Today, it is one of the 2 main ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, making up the “Sunshine Double” along with the Indian Wells Masters held right before it.
