It will also be a very important event in terms of promoting our fields here. Because although Belek is known in the international golf community, it is an important factor for us to be on this calendar and for international golfers to compete here. Golf tourists prioritize places that are on this tournament calendar when choosing a place to compete or play golf. For this reason, we expect Turkish Airlines Open to bring golf enthusiasts to our country and the number of golfers in this region to increase from next year. The total prize of this tournament is 2 million 750 thousand dollars, and the 1st place will receive 500 thousand dollars.
