A summer Saturday at Newport Polo can introduce you to a country you have never visited. For the winner of the 2026 Turkish Airlines Grand Prize, that introduction now comes with an invitation to explore: two round-trip Business Class tickets to a destination of their choice within the airline’s global network.
The winning journey began at USA vs. Mongolia, where the weekly Door Prize winner was the first to secure an entry in the Grand Prize Drawing that would conclude the season. On October 3, at the Turkish Airlines Finals, that chance became a travel opportunity extending well beyond the grounds at Glen Farm.
Throughout the summer, weekly Door Prize winners joined the field of finalists, keeping the prospect of an international escape alive between matches. The final door prize drawing at the last match brought that anticipation to a close as Newport Polo celebrated the conclusion of its 150th Diamond Jubilee season and the 35th Newport International Polo Series, presented by Turkish Airlines.
For a Series built on welcoming visiting teams and forging friendships across borders, the prize offers a particularly fitting exchange. After a summer of bringing the world to Newport, Turkish Airlines gives a Newport Polo spectator the opportunity to experience another part of it, with a companion along for the journey.
Business Class airfare for two makes the journey itself part of the occasion. A long-imagined destination, a return to a favorite place, or the discovery of somewhere entirely new: the choice belongs to the winner.
Congratulations to this year’s Grand Prize recipient and to all of the season’s weekly Door Prize winners. Newport Polo thanks Turkish Airlines for bringing this international travel tradition to its spectators and giving one more reason for a Saturday at Glen Farm to stay with them long after the final chukker.
The season has ended. The itinerary is just beginning.
