There was plenty at stake for DP World Tour members as the Asian Swing reached its climax this week at the $2,750,000 Turkish Airlines Open.
The eyes of the golfing world turned to Antalya, with Belek’s National Golf Club, located within Regnum Hotels, taking on host venue duties for the first time for Türkiye’s national open.
Not only that but it became the 463rd venue to stage a DP World Tour event, after the Montgomerie Maxx Royal and Regnum Carya had previously served as the backdrop. A par 72, measuring 7,287 yards, the course at the National Golf Club was Türkiye’s first internationally acclaimed course. The course record stood at 66 (-6), set by Bernd Ritthammer of Germany at the Turkish Airlines Challenge in 2014.
Players representing 32 countries teed it up, reinforcing the globality of the DP World Tour and the opportunities it provided. No fewer than seven winners so far this season were among the 156-player field, including the returning Jayden Schaper from South Africa, who at third was the highest-ranked player in the Race to Dubai standings following his back-to-back wins at the tail end of 2025. Major champion Francesco Molinari and fellow Rolex Series winner Paul Waring took their place too, as did last year’s Turkish Open winner Martin Couvra.
With a prize fund of $2.75 million and the added incentive of qualification for the US PGA Championship for the top-three DP World Tour members on the Asian Swing Rankings at the end of the week, there was plenty at stake.
Mikael Lindberg secured his first DP World Tour title and qualified for the US PGA Championship with a two-stroke win at the 2026 Turkish Airlines Open.
