On behalf of everyone at the DP World Tour, I am delighted to welcome you to National Golf Club, located within Regnum Hotels, for the ninth edition of the Turkish Airlines Open.
The Turkish Airlines Open has provided us with many magical moments over the years, and we are looking forward to another wonderful spectacle this week.
Last year, Martin Couvra secured his maiden DP World Tour title, adding his name to the impressive list of international players who have won this tournament.
The Turkish Airlines Open is the fourth of four counting events on our Asian Swing – the third of five Global Swings which form the first phase of the DP World Tour’s 2026 global schedule.
Türkiye is somewhere our players and staff always enjoy visiting, and we are always made to feel truly welcome here.
We must therefore thank the Turkish Golf Federation, Turkish Airlines and National Golf Club for their continued support of this event and for their kind hospitality.
Our players are looking forward to another fantastic tournament which will once again showcase Türkiye and National Golf Club to our global audience.
Enjoy the week
