National Golf Club, located within Regnum Hotels in Belek, hosted the Turkish Airlines Open for the first time this week, and the DP World Tour has selected the picturesque layout to take on hosting duties once again for the next two years.

Having played a pioneering role in the development of golf tourism in Antalya since 1994, National Golf Club will once again welcome athletes and golf enthusiasts from around the world with this major event.

On the agreement, National Golf Club General Manager Hasan Ceylan said: “We are incredibly proud to continue hosting the Turkish Airlines Open at National Golf Club as part of this extended agreement with the Turkish Golf Federation and the DP World Tour.

“This commitment is a strong reflection of the confidence in our course, our facilities, and our dedicated team. Since our establishment, we have played a key role in positioning Belek as one of Europe’s leading golf destinations, and hosting such a prestigious tournament further strengthens that reputation on the global stage.

“We look forward to welcoming the world’s best players and golf fans once again over the coming years, delivering an exceptional experience both on and off the course and continuing to contribute to the growth of golf tourism in Türkiye.”

Turkish Golf Federation President Yıldırım Demirören said: “This week has once again shown what is possible when strong partners come together.

"We are grateful to the DP World Tour as tournament organiser, our title sponsor Turkish Airlines, and National Golf Club within Regnum Hotels Belek as our host venue, for delivering a tournament of this calibre on Turkish soil. We also extend our sincere thanks to Spor Toto Teşkilat Başkanlığı, whose support has been essential in making this tournament possible.

"The Turkish Airlines Open continues to serve as an invaluable platform for our national players, and this year more elite Turkish players played alongside the world's leading professionals than ever before. The event also reminded us why the best players in the world keep returning to Belek with their families — the championship conditions, hospitality, and lifestyle here are, by their own accounts, unmatched anywhere.

"With the DP World Tour reaching well over half a billion households in more than 170 countries, this week has been an extraordinary opportunity to showcase Türkiye as Europe's leading golf destination — and, at a time of global uncertainty, to demonstrate the safe and welcoming environment our country offers to international athletes and visitors alike.

"On behalf of the Turkish golf community, I extend our heartfelt thanks to our Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Osman Aşkın Bak, whose tremendous support has been instrumental in making this tournament — and this global showcase of Türkiye — possible."

DP World Tour Director of Tournament Business Mark Casey added, “We are delighted to announce the Turkish Airlines Open will return to National Golf Club for the next two years.

“We have enjoyed working alongside Hasan Ceylan, Şener Ceylan and their incredible team during this year’s event, which has been a great success. We are grateful to everyone at the venue for their continued support and hospitality.

“I would also like to thank Turkish Airlines and the Turkish Golf Federation for their hard work in continuing to develop golf in Türkiye. This tournament has played such an important role in helping to achieve that and we look forward to continuing our partnership.”
