Gloria Hotels & Resorts to host finals of world's biggest corporate golf event

Gloria Hotels & Resorts has extended a successful partnership with Turkish Airlines to span the next two editions of the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup.

Officially the largest reaching corporate event in the sport, the 2025 and 2026 Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup will be sponsored once again by Gloria Hotels & Resorts, who will also host the final of both seasons.

2024’s tournament saw 20,000 golfers play in 112 events in 68 countries, putting some of golf’s most talented amateurs in the spotlight while promoting Turkish hospitality on a global scale. This year’s event promises to be even bigger with 133 events planned in 86 countries.

In November 2025 and 2026, the top players from each qualifying event will fly business class to Gloria Golf Club and Gloria Serenity Resort for the 10th and 11th Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Final.

There they will experience the largest and most complete golf resort in Turkey while competing across a round on each of the Old Course and New Course, two 18-hole championship layouts designed by French architect Michel Gayon.

David Clare, director of golf at Gloria Golf Club, said: “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.”

The Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Final was also held at Gloria Hotels & Resorts in 2023 and 2024, shortly after Gloria Serenity Resort underwent an extensive multi-million euro upgrade and renovation. The opulent five-star venue overhauled all 367 rooms and villas and enhanced its dining and amenities to further elevate one of the most acclaimed resorts in Turkey.

Sprawling across 212 hectares, Gloria Hotels & Resorts is conveniently situated just 30km from Antalya International Airport; alongside the Old and New courses, the venue is home to the nine-hole Verde Course and an array of first-rate practice facilities, including the new-for-2024 Phil Kenyon Putting Academy. Guests can choose between three distinct hotels, each offering a different experience: Gloria Golf Resort, Gloria Verde Resort and Gloria Serenity Resort.

Turkish golf is gearing up for a significant year in 2025, most prominently with the return of the DP World Tour for the first time since 2019 when the Turkish Open comes to Antalya in May.
