A participant attempting the 70m shot

Turkish Airlines celebrates the start of golf tournament

KUWAIT, October 4, 2016

Turkish Airlines recently presented the fourth edition of Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup (TAWGC), the famous amateur golf tournament around the world.

The global amateur golf competition saw participants which included winners of qualifying events in 100 destinations worldwide.

The introductory event of this tournament’s Istanbul phase was organised in the Galatasaray Islet -also known as Suada, a small island situated just north of the Bosphorus Bridge.

During the opening event, amateur golfers from all around the world were invited to hit a golf ball from one continent into another aiming at a hole placed on the water. One of the participants was able to score a 70 metre and received the chance to win two Turkish Airlines business class tickets for his destination of choice around the world.

For all the participants at TAWGC 2016, it was a fantastic opportunity to discover the beautiful city of Istanbul where Turkish Airlines has its luxury lounge located in the International Ataturk Airport and where passengers were able to experience the traditional Turkish hospitality, largely due to the exclusive facilities and excellent services.

The winner of the Istanbul tournament, held from September 30 – October 2 at Kemer Golf Country Club, will get an opportunity to attend the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final in Antalya from October 31 - November 1, where 14-time major champion Tiger Woods is scheduled to appear together with the top 70 players in the Race to Dubai standings, to fight for a prize of $7 million.  

The Grand Final will be hosted by the luxury Titanic Deluxe Belek at the end of October, with a two round tournament taking place at the newly renovated Titanic Golf Club, a rewarding Hawtree-designed course that offers stunning views of the glistening Mediterranean.

With 291 destinations worldwide, Turkish Airlines is always committed to delivering its passengers with experiences that always exceed expectations. - TradeArabia News Service
