Female golfers will compete in Antalya between September 27 and 30 while male golfers would compete between October 4 and 7.

Around 420 golfers are expected to participate in the Championships to be hosted by the Turkish Golf Federation. 

Some of the reasons for Turkey's selection as the country to host this important organization, among many others, are as follows; Turkey's experience in hosting international sports events, the fact that golf is the most rapidly developing sports branch, the increasing number of perfectly-designed golf courses, the selection of Turkey as the most rapidly developing golf country in Europe and our treasures of young population, cultural heritage and natural assets.

This event to be organized in Belek, the golf paradise of Antalya where numerous historical and natural treasures are intertwined, on uniquely beautiful golf courses designed by Nick Faldo, the unforgettable name of golf and Michel Gayon, the famous architect, as well as the leading architects of European Golf Design will be an unforgettable experience both for players and golf lovers.
