The fifth edition of the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Amateur Series — the world’s biggest corporate amateur tournament — has touched down once again in Dubai on Tuesday. The widely-renowned Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup (TAWGC) continues to go from strength to strength.
The tournament consists of 100 Qualifying Series events, played as individual stableford competitions of full handicap allowance, across 63 countries with 100 champions winning through to qualify to the grand final in Turkey.
The finalists trimmed from a field of 8,000 players flew business class on Turkish Airlines from their qualifying destinations to Antalya and will spend an incredible week at the five-star Titanic Deluxe Belek hotel in Antalya, Turkey.
Finalists will compete over two rounds at the neighboring Titanic Golf Club, which is one of Turkey’s Golf Coast’s best courses. Past winners have progressed to play in the Pro-Am of the Turkish Airlines Open, part of the European Tour’s “Final Series.” The Financial Times, Enterprise Rent A Car, Allianz and Conte of Florence are supporting the tournament.
The TAWGC is a part of Turkish Airlines’ wide-ranging backing for golf that includes an event on the Challenge Tour — the European Tour’s second tier — and longstanding support for ladies golf, as well as the prestigious Turkish Airlines Open.
Emre Ismailoglu, general manager, Dubai and Northern Emirates, Turkish Airlines, and member of the Dubai Turkish Airlines local office, said: “We are delighted to host a Qualifying Series event for the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup. The events are now a key part of the calendar for the region’s business community. We are looking forward to another memorable occasion and a worthy winner.
“Flying to more countries than any other airline in the world, Turkish Airlines is also committed to supporting and working with sports and international sporting organizations that bring people together from all over the world. Alongside TAWGC, Turkish Airlines lends its full support to several other international sports organizations, including Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Europe’s top club level basketball competition.”
He added: “We are always looking to transport the leading athletes of the world in comfort to try their best and compete to be champions!”
