First named as a global partner for 2023, DP World began official support of the Ryder Cup ahead of the games in Rome last year.

Among other initiatives, DP World brought in essential electrical and solar equipment, 90 mobility scooters to support attendees with reduced mobility, and nearly a dozen containers containing more than 10,000 items used throughout the tournament.
With the Ryder Cup's unique needs, the partnership highlights the tournament's mission to promote international goodwill and sport and DP World's excellence in delivery, global reach, prestige and community investment.
DP World will continue to bring its industry-leading capabilities to help deliver the highly anticipated club golf event in 2025 at Bethpage Black and 2027 at Adare Manor in Ireland.

Jeff Price, Chief Commercial Officer at the PGA of America, said: “As seen in 2023, DP World has been an important partner in helping to raise awareness of the Ryder Cup around the world. Their expertise in logistics and supply chain solutions ensured the smooth running of the event, enabling organizers to focus on delivering a world-class experience to attendees.

Richard Atkinson, Ryder Cup Director of the European Tour team, added: “The Ryder Cup has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world and with that comes a high degree of difficulty in its nature.
“DP World's smart supply chain technology is highly valued by Ryder Cup Europe, the PGA of America and our partners and helped us deliver a record-breaking and truly memorable event in Rome. We are always trying to raise awareness and New York in 2025 provides the perfect stage to do just that. We look forward to working with DP World for the next two games.”
