The MIC is a "category B" tournament in the World Amateur Golf Ranking,[2] meaning it is one of the top 100 men's amateur tournaments in the world.[3]

The course at Monroe Golf Club opened in 1924 and was designed by Donald Ross.

Nick Palladino won the 2013 event in a playoff. Due to rain, the event had been shortened to 54 holes. Entering his senior year at the University of Rochester, Palladino became the first Division III player to win the event.[4]
