    New Delhi, May, 2013: Turkish Airlines was confirmed as the title sponsor of The European Tour?s new US$7 million event to be held in Turkey November 7-10. The tournament will form part of the inaugural Final Series on The Race to Dubai, and will feature World Number One ranked Tiger Woods. The Turkish Airlines Open will take place at The Montgomerie Maxx Royal course, in Belek, Antalya, the week before the DP World Tour Championship. Woods, the 14-time Major Champion, will be part of the 78-man field, having also played in last year?s Turkish Airlines World Golf Final ? a precursor for the new European Tour event.

    Woods, who has already had four wins this season on the US PGA Tour, including the recent Players Championship, said: ?I had a great time during my first visit to Turkey. Turkish Airlines, the Turkish Golf Federation and the fans who came to watch made it a really special event and I?m looking forward to playing there once again.?

    It will form a central part of The Final Series, the new four-tournament series that is part of The Race to Dubai, comprising the US$7 million BMW Masters, the US$8.5 million WGC ? HSBC Champions, the US$7 million Turkish Airlines Open and the US$8 million DP World Tour Championship, Dubai ? offering a combined prize fund of US$30.5million.

    Faruk Cizmecioglu, Chief Marketing Officer at Turkish Airlines, said: ?We are proud to support a top-class European Tour event and delighted to see Tiger competing in Turkey for the second year.?

    Keith Waters, Chief Operating Officer and Director of International Policy for The European Tour, said: ?We are thrilled to welcome Turkish Airlines on board as the title sponsor of The Turkish Airlines Open; a partnership which will greatly enhance what is shaping up to be a very exciting tournament in Belek in November.

    ?Part of the reason for that is the news that Tiger Woods will return once again to compete. We are always delighted to welcome Tiger to the field for a European Tour event and we look forward to seeing him in action once again in Turkey in November.?

    This year has already seen Dubai, Singapore and Tokyo stage events, with the tournament set to continue in Seoul, Beijing, New York, Moscow, Milan, Frankfurt, Paris, Delhi and London.
