Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to more countries than any other, has renewed its title sponsorship of the Turkish Airlines Open through a partnership with the Turkish Golf Federation. After a six-year hiatus, the tournament will once again be part of the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai. The tournament will be held at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort in Antalya between May 8-11, 2025.
The sponsorship signature ceremony was held at the Turkish Airlines Headquarters, with the participation of Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi, Turkish Golf Federation Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors Nihat Özdemir, and DP World Tour Director of Tournament Business Mark Casey along with other senior executives.
On the agreement, Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi stated: “As Turkish Airlines, we remain committed to connecting people and cultures around the globe through the pursuit of excellence in sports. In line with this commitment, we are glad to take another step in supporting sports and athletes through Turkish Airlines Open.”
Having been the title sponsor of Turkish Airlines Open since 2013, Turkish Airlines hosted some of the world’s most renowned professional golfers, including Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, and Rory McIlroy in Antalya until 2019. Additionally, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, the world’s largest amateur golf tournament organized by the flag carrier since 2013, is being held in 117 destinations in 73 countries this year.
