Mcilroy Backs Turkish Airlines’ Campaign

Rory McIlroy has launched Turkish Airlines’ #CheckInToGolf campaign, which encourages golf fans across the world to share their golf experiences for a chance to win golf travel prizes.

Using the #CheckInToGolf hashtag on social media, fans can post a picture of their favourite golf destination for a chance to win and go to www.turkishairlinesopen.com where they can see where others have been checking in.

Fans will have the chance to win weekly golf travel prizes throughout the Turkish Airlines Open 2015, which starts at the end of October, as well as win an opportunity to meet Rory McIlroy at the Open.  

Rory McIlroy said: “I’ve been on the road for quite some time with the Tour and have seen some of the most incredible golf destinations. So it feels great to be launching the #CheckInToGolf campaign today, allowing everyone to celebrate and share their favourite golfing experiences, vistas and hidden gems from around the globe. I can’t wait to see where in the world has the most ‘Check-Ins’ but I’m hopeful that my home country is very well represented – so come on, check-in for me! Turkey is also a really inspirational destination to visit and play golf and I’m massively looking forward to playing in the Turkish Airlines Open later this month.”

Ali Genc, vice president media relations, from Turkish Airlines added: “As the airline that flies to the most countries than any other, we’re excited to be launching a campaign that celebrates the amazing golf destinations around the world. In the build-up to the Turkish Airlines Open 2015, the #CheckInToGolf campaign, will show how the world’s golfing community can be brought together by Turkish Airlines and win some amazing prizes in the process!”
