Mikael Lindberg secured his first DP World Tour title and qualified for the US PGA Championship with a two-stroke win at the 2026 Turkish Airlines Open.

Here’s the prize money breakdown for each golfer at the 2026 Turkish Airlines Open

The Swede, making his 70th start on the DP World Tour, held off playing partner Daniel Rodrigues with a final round of 69 to finish ten under par at National Golf Club in Belek, Antalya.

The 33-year-old’s victory sees him top the Asian Swing Rankings and subsequently earn his Major Championship debut at the US PGA Championship in two weeks’ time. He will be joined at Aronimink Golf Club by Austrian Bernd Wiesberger and American Jordan Gumberg who finished second and third on the Rankings respectively.

Lindberg and Rodrigues both started with birdies at the first hole, though the Swede gave the shot back at the third. He responded with three birdies in the next four holes to move one ahead of Rodrigues, who had also birdied the fourth.

Both players bogeyed the ninth before Lindberg stretched his lead to two with a birdie at the 13th – and momentarily to three with another at the next, until Rodrigues responded in kind.

The clubhouse target had by now been set at seven under, initially by Jacob Skov Olesen before he was joined by Darius van Driel and Ewen Ferguson. With the trio sitting four back from the on-course lead though, it came down to a battle between Lindberg, Rodrigues and Guido Migliozzi, with the Italian eight under and three behind Lindberg with three to play.

The leader bogeyed the 15th, allowing Rodrigues to halve the deficit while Migliozzi made a good up-and-down for par at the 16th. Rodrigues was unable to get up and down from a bunker at the 16th, leaving Lindberg two shots ahead once more.

Migliozzi was unable to find a birdie over the final two holes, the Italian improving the clubhouse target slightly to eight under but visibly frustrated not to increase the pressure on Lindberg.

Rodrigues’ long birdie putt at the last slid just by the right of the hole, leaving Lindberg three putts to win it and though he left the first well short, the second safely found the heart of the hole to leave him emotional on the green.

Rodrigues and Migliozzi shared second place on eight under ahead of Ferguson, Van Driel and Olesen.

Ricardo Gouveia made it two Portuguese players in the top 10, tied with Italy’s second-round leader Gregorio De Leo for seventh on six under. Ugo Coussaud, the third member of the final group with Lindberg and Rodrigues, finished five under alongside JC Ritchie, Marcus Armitage and Kota Kaneko.
