The event was created in 1996 by Jenkins and Gord McCrady to "repay the Brockville Country Club for funds used to buy a new compressor, chiller and condenser."[1] The following year a women's event was added.
The Shorty Jenkins Classic scheduled for September 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The event was not held again until 2023 due to the pandemic.[3]
