Antalya, Turkey — 01/04/2024

In the eighth edition of this year’s Maxx Royal Cup, bringing together golf enthusiasts from 45 countries, a unique gift to the golf world was presented through the collaboration of Lonca Studio and Maxx Royal Montgomerie. The tournament’s champion golfer was awarded a specially handcrafted glass trophy.
Mert Üngör, the founding partner of Lonca Studio and glass artist, emphasized the design philosophy that seamlessly combines tradition with innovation by sharing the design process of the Maxx Royal Cup Golf Trophy. The trophy emerged as a unique award where craftsmanship and art intersect with the world of golf.
Üngör, recounting the story of the design, stated, “Just as Montgomerie Golf Course is the canvas for a perfect swing, Lonca Studio designs represent the canvas for the dance of molten glass. The precision, dedication, and artistry that define the sport of golf are essential elements of the glassblowing process. Both pursuits require skill, focus, and a commitment to excellence.”
The design of the Maxx Royal Cup trophy drew inspiration from the timeless allure of the Mediterranean, the dynamic energy of golf, and the details of the Montgomerie golf course. As a result, a handcrafted trophy was created, possessing a unique elegance and the potential to stand out in any showcase.
