The Turkish Open, an elite 78-man tournament on the European Tour, will be presented by Turkey’s Ministry of Culture & Tourism. It will be held on 13-16 November at the Colin Montgomerie-designed Maxx Royal Resort golf course in Belek, Antalya.

The Turkish Airlines World Golf Final has become the Turkish Airlines Open this year, expanding from an eight-man exhibition event to an elite 78-man tournament on the European Tour, organised by the Turkish Golf Federation.

The tournament will form part of the inaugural Final Series on The Race to Dubai and will be relayed to 52 countries by 39 international television channels. Last year’s top eight professionals event, won by Victor Dubuisson, provided a taste of the world-class golf to be played in Turkey, and for 2014, the event is a fully-sanctioned European Tour event.

November 2013 saw some of the finest golfers go head-head in Europe’s newest and most exciting tournament. Victor Dubuisson held off Jamie Donaldson, Justin Rose and Tiger Woods to claim his maiden European Tour title, finishing two shots clear on 24 under par.
