TURKISH Airlines, flying to more countries than any other airline, arrived in Kuala Lumpur at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club with the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup on 11th May. Local high-profile figures and members of the business community attended the event.

Since its inception in 2013, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup now brings together over 8,000 players who compete against one another in more than 117 tournaments in 73 countries worldwide. 

The event at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club was the 11th of 118 tournaments in this year’s Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup – with the victors competing in the Grand Finals in Türkiye later this year. From a global total of 118, those that win will go through to the Grand Finals and have the chance to stay & play at Gloria Serenity Resort & Gloria Golf Club on the Turkish Golf Coast.

Representing Kuala Lumpur, Dhiren Kanesh secured their champion position with 17 points, and Low Boon Tung was runner-up, while Daivinn Kuna came third.

The Closest to the Pin competition was won by Zakaria Amir for the men and Jennifer Lim for the women. Gavin Fung won the lowest gross score with a score of level par.

Turkish Airlines General Manager in Kuala Lumpur, Mustafa Kemal Kizilay said: “We warmly thank all of our guests who made the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup here in Kuala Lumpur a huge success. Once again, it was a thrilling tournament in the TAWGC series, congratulations to our winner, Dhiren Kanesh. We wish him the best of luck in Türkiye.”

All Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup finalists will fly to Türkiye with the comfort and luxury of the Turkish Airlines’ Business Class.

Turkish Airlines’ support makes the past events, such as the Turkish Airlines Open and TAWGC in Antalya, an international premium destination for golfers with outstanding facilities.
