The debut season took place with eight events in February 2018. Keith Tilston won the $50,000 Main Event, while Stephen Chidwick earned series champion honors by winning two events and making five final tables.[2] For the second season in February 2019, the buy-in for the Main Event was increased to $100,000 and a Short Deck variant was added to the schedule.[3]

After not being held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the series returned for its third edition in June 2021. In addition to the $50,000 prize, the series champion will now receive a Golden Eagle trophy.[4] David Peters won three events to earn the series championship for the second consecutive time.

Sean Winter, after being runner-up to Peters in the previous two U.S. Poker Opens, won the final two events of the 2022 series including the $50,000 Main Event for the second straight year to earn the series championship.[5]
