The 11th Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup returned to Dhaka on 17 October, 2026, bringing prominent local figures and members of the business community together at Kurmitola Golf Club for the corporate golf tournament.
The Dhaka event was the 92nd of 139 tournaments in this year's series, with local champions qualifying for the grand finals in Türkiye later this year, according to the press release.
Turkish Airlines, which says it flies to more countries than any other airline, has organised the World Golf Cup since 2013. The competition now brings together more than 10,000 players across over 130 tournaments in 84 countries.
Winners from the 139 qualifying tournaments will advance to the grand finals, where they will have the opportunity to play at Gloria Golf Club and stay at Gloria Serenity Resort on the Turkish Golf Coast.
Colonel Md Humayun Rashed won the Dhaka tournament with 44 points and will represent the city at the grand finals. Air Vice Marshal Md Nazrul Islam finished runner-up, while SM Abdullah Farabi placed third.
Brigadier General Yasir Jahan won the men's closest-to-the-pin competition, while Neela Aziz won the women's event.
Humayun Rashed also claimed the gross award with a score of 75.
İslam Güre, general manager of Turkish Airlines in Dhaka, said, "We thank all of our guests who made the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup here in Dhaka a huge success. Once again, it was a thrilling tournament in the TAWGC series, congratulations to our winner, Col Md Humayun Rashed. We wish him the best of luck in Türkiye."
All Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup finalists will fly to Türkiye in the airline's business class.
The airline said its events over the past decade, including the Turkish Airlines Open and the World Golf Cup, had helped establish Antalya as an international golfing destination, with facilities attracting golfers from around the world.
