Turkish Airlines (THY), the airline that flies to more countries than any other, is reaffirming its strong presence in the golf world in collaboration with the Turkish Golf Federation. After a six-year hiatus, THY has announced its return as the title sponsor of the prestigious Turkish Airlines Open.
The tournament will take place from 8th to 11th May 2025 at Antalya’s Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort and will be a key stop on the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai series.

The sponsorship agreement signing ceremony was held at Turkish Airlines’ Headquarters. Attendees included THY CEO Bilal Ekşi, Turkish Golf Federation Vice Chairman Nihat Özdemir, DP World Tour Tournament Operations Director Mark Casey, and other senior executives.

World-Famous Golfers Gather in Antalya
Between 2013 and 2019, Turkish Airlines, as the title sponsor of the tournament, hosted golf superstars such as Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, and Rory McIlroy in Antalya. Now, this prestigious event is making a strong return to the global sporting calendar.
Additionally, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, the world’s largest amateur golf tournament organised by THY since 2013, continues to bring golf enthusiasts together, with this year’s edition being held across 73 countries and 117 destinations.
