It was the inaugural event and consisted of three competitions – men's, women's and mixed team format.

The format failed to attract the highest ranked players, with Great Britain's Georgia Hall, ranked 10th in the world, the only player from the top 200 in the World of either sex to participate.

The men's and women's team championships featured a round-robin group fourball format, on 8–10 August, with winners of each of the four groups progressing to the semi-finals where foursomes will determine the winners, on 12 August.
