Ryder Cup Europe and the PGA of America today announced a new agreement with DP World that will see the global supply chain leader become a Worldwide Partner of the Ryder Cup. 

Established in 1927, the biennial competition pits 12 of the top professional golfers from the U.S. and Europe against each other in a head-to-head match play competition and has become one of the world’s greatest sporting events, captivating an audience of millions around the globe. The Ryder Cup is a complex logistical operation involving hundreds of different partners and contractors. DP World will be bringing its industry leading capabilities to help deliver the event by seamlessly connecting smart logistics with the passion and precision of golf. 

With an interconnected network spanning 75 countries across six continents and day-to-day operations accounting for 10% of global trade, DP World’s logistical capabilities make it perfectly positioned to help deliver the Ryder Cup and enhance the efficiency and success of golf as a global sport. From helping to organise international tournaments to managing the smooth flow of equipment and infrastructure, DP World helps deliver the game to people all around the world, from grassroots to the professional level. 

There are just over two months to go until the U.S. Team get their defence underway in Italy, and DP World is busy working with Ryder Cup Europe and PGA of America to create the smartest, most efficient, and innovative supply chain solutions to ensure the smooth running of the 2023 Ryder Cup. 

This new partnership agreement with golf’s greatest team contest further strengthens DP World’s strong ties with the game of golf, and the wider sports sector, where it is on a mission to support the growth of sports worldwide through its smart logistics solutions. It has been Title Partner of the European Tour group’s main Tour, the DP World Tour, since the start of the 2022 season and the tournament Title Partner of the season ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai since 2009. 

As part of the partnership agreement, DP World will use the Ryder Cup as a global platform to engage with customers, prospects, and stakeholders, forming an essential part of its business growth in key sectors. Fans can expect to see a series of digital and experiential initiatives run in conjunction with the partnership including the presence of DP World’s ‘second life’ golf ball container in the Ryder Cup fan village, where fans will be encouraged to donate unwanted to golf balls to be given back to grassroots golf projects around the world.
