Turkish athlete Leon Açıkalın, who will compete in the tournament, could not attend the meeting.

Professional golfer Mehmet Ceylan said, "It is a great opportunity to compete here. I accepted to compete in this tournament because I will play on my own field. It was my dream. I was very happy to play when I was given the chance. I will do my best, but we have to be realistic. I hope reaching the second stage will be a big goal for me. I want one of the young players to reach the final because this is their job. I would like our 3 young players to achieve this very much," he said.

Professional golfer Taner Yamaç said, "I have played in this tournament 3 times as an amateur before. I will play professionally for the first time. I am excited. We have made our preparations. I hope we will represent our country in the best way. I know the field very well. There is no pressure on me. I am very comfortable. Tomorrow, there will inevitably be excitement in the first hole. I am psychologically ready for now," he said.

Amateur golfer Can Gürdenli said, "I was very excited when I learned that I would compete in the tournament. I am still excited. I am participating in a professional tournament for the first time in my life. It is very good to start such a tour for the first time by chance. I am excited to play with professional famous golfers in such a big tournament. I will do everything I can," he said.

Amateur golfer İbrahim Tarık Aslan also said, "I have been playing golf for a long time, but I will play in such a tournament for the first time. There is both excitement and happiness. I will not be closed when I go out on the field. I will do more than I can. I will try to be happy," he said.
