Gloria Hotels to host Turkish Airlines Golf Cup Finals in 2025 and 2026, reaffirming its status as a premier destination in global golf tourism. Set against the scenic backdrop of Belek, Antalya, the Gloria Golf Club will once again welcome finalists from one of the largest corporate golf tournaments in the world—the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup.
The event, organized across 130 cities by Turkish Airlines, gathers over 10,000 amateur golfers from around the globe each year. Only the best advance to the finals, which will now return to Gloria’s championship-level courses for two consecutive years. These high-stakes tournaments will crown champions at the end of 2025 and 2026, further positioning Belek as a golf capital on the international stage.
A Global Golf Event Returns to Belek
Launched by Turkish Airlines to connect business professionals and golf lovers, the World Golf Cup has evolved into one of the most prestigious amateur golf events globally. Finalists will travel to Turkey in Turkish Airlines’ Business Class, arriving to a blend of sport, luxury, and Mediterranean beauty that defines Belek.
Gloria Hotels & Resorts previously hosted the finals to great acclaim, earning praise for its state-of-the-art facilities and world-class hospitality. With this renewed collaboration, both Turkish Airlines and Gloria Hotels demonstrate their continued investment in the growth and visibility of Turkish golf tourism.
Championship Courses with Signature Design
Participants will compete at two of Europe’s most renowned courses: the Gloria Old Course and the Gloria New Course. Both were designed by celebrated French golf architect Michel Gayon and are known for their challenging layouts, pristine conditions, and integration with Belek’s natural beauty.
The Gloria Old Course, a classic parkland design, and the Gloria New Course, featuring strategic bunkering and water hazards, will test the skills of every finalist. These venues have previously hosted professional events and are part of the largest hotel golf complex in Europe.
Luxury and Comfort at Gloria Serenity Resort
During the finals, players will be accommodated at the Gloria Serenity Resort, a luxury retreat offering five-star service and tranquil surroundings. The resort is known for its elegant rooms, high-end dining, and spa amenities—making it an ideal base for competitors and guests alike.
The entire experience is designed to embody Turkish hospitality at its finest, from gourmet cuisine to personalized service. For golfers, it’s more than just a tournament—it’s a lifestyle escape in one of the Mediterranean’s top resort areas.
Official Comment and Partnership Impact
David Clare, Golf Director of Gloria Golf Club, commented on the announcement: “It’s an honor to host such a prestigious and global tournament again. At Gloria, we present golf not just as a sport but as a holistic lifestyle experience.”
The continued partnership between Turkish Airlines and Gloria Hotels also contributes significantly to Turkey’s strategic vision of becoming a global golf tourism leader. Hosting major events such as this strengthens Antalya’s international profile and reinforces the region’s reputation for excellence in sports tourism.
A Hub for Sports, Luxury, and Nature
Belek, known for its championship golf courses, pine forests, and sandy beaches, is ideally suited for elite sports gatherings. With Turkish Airlines providing seamless global connectivity and Gloria Hotels delivering unmatched hospitality, the 2025 and 2026 finals are expected to draw even more attention to the region.
As preparations begin, Gloria Hotels & Resorts and Turkish Airlines are once again proving how strategic collaboration, commitment to quality, and a passion for sport can place Turkey at the center of the global golf conversation.
