Gloria to Host 2025 & 2026 Turkish Airlines Golf Cup Finals
Gloria Hotels & Resorts has extended its successful partnership with Turkish Airlines, securing its role as the host venue for the next two editions of the prestigious Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup.
Continuing a Global Golf Tradition
As the largest-reaching corporate golf event in the world, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup continues to expand. In 2024, the tournament saw 20,000 golfers compete across 112 events in 68 countries.
The 2025 edition is set to be even bigger, with 133 events planned across 86 nations, further highlighting the global appeal of both golf and Turkish hospitality.
Gloria Hotels & Resorts will once again be the proud sponsor of the 2025 and 2026 Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, hosting the Grand Final for both years.
In November 2025 and 2026, the top qualifiers from each event will fly business class to Gloria Golf Club and Gloria Serenity Resort for the 10th and 11th Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Finals.
A Premier Golfing Destination
The Grand Final will take place across two of Turkey’s finest championship courses – the Old Course and New Course at Gloria Golf Club.
Designed by renowned French architect Michel Gayon, these 18-hole layouts offer an exceptional test of golf, making Gloria the ideal venue for this prestigious competition.
David Clare, director of golf at Gloria Golf Club, expressed his pride in continuing the resort’s association with the event:
“We are extremely proud to be chosen again as the stage for the climax of a global competition as prestigious as the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup.
With world-class courses, extensive practice facilities, wonderful dining options and luxury accommodation – not to mention our location in such a stunning part of Turkey – we feel that Gloria Hotels & Resorts is the perfect place to showcase Turkish golf and hospitality to the world.
Hosting some of the planet’s best amateur players for the Grand Final has been a real treat over the past two years, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming players again in 2025 and 2026.”
Luxury & Excellence at Gloria Hotels & Resorts
The Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Final was also held at Gloria Hotels & Resorts in 2023 and 2024, coinciding with the resort’s multi-million-euro renovation.
The five-star Gloria Serenity Resort underwent an extensive upgrade, with all 367 rooms and villas refurbished and its dining and amenities enhanced to elevate its status as one of Turkey’s most luxurious destinations.
Spanning 212 hectares and just 30km from Antalya International Airport, Gloria Hotels & Resorts is Turkey’s largest and most comprehensive golf resort.
Alongside the Old and New Courses, the venue is home to the nine-hole Verde Course and top-tier practice facilities, including the newly introduced Phil Kenyon Putting Academy.
Visitors can choose between three unique hotel experiences within the resort:
- Gloria Golf Resort – A perfect blend of golf and leisure.
- Gloria Verde Resort – A tranquil retreat ideal for relaxation.
- Gloria Serenity Resort – A premier five-star experience with unparalleled luxury.
Turkish Golf Set for an Exciting Year
The future of Turkish golf looks bright, with major international tournaments returning to the country. In addition to the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, 2025 will see the return of the DP World Tour to Antalya in May, marking the first time the Turkish Open has been held since 2019.
With its commitment to excellence in golf, hospitality, and luxury, Gloria Hotels & Resorts continues to solidify its position as a premier global golfing destination.
