This tournament took place at the Antalya Golf Club, Sultan course, in Belek, on the Turkish Riviera.

It featured four of the five top ranked players: Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Justin Rose in an eight-player field.

It was replaced by the Turkish Airlines Open in 2013 which was part of the European Tour.

Because the event conflicted with the PGA Tour's Frys.com Open, all eight players had to be granted releases by the PGA Tour, in exchange for which they agreed to play the Frys.com Open at least once in the next three years.
