CDW has been named the official IT services supplier of the Ryder Cup 2027, deepening its partnership with one of golf’s most prestigious events as the technology solutions provider takes responsibility for delivering the tournament’s end-to-end IT infrastructure.
The appointment builds on CDW’s successful involvement at the Ryder Cup 2023 in Rome and will see the company oversee the technology platform for the 2027 edition, scheduled to be held at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland, from September 13–19, 2027. The agreement further strengthens CDW’s growing footprint in global sport, where enterprise technology has become increasingly critical to the delivery of major international events.
As official IT services supplier, CDW will design, deploy and manage the tournament’s complete IT ecosystem, encompassing secure wired and wireless networking, cybersecurity, connectivity, on-site technical support and live operational services. The infrastructure will underpin every aspect of the event, enabling seamless operations for players, officials, broadcasters, media, volunteers and spectators while supporting the global broadcast and digital experience.
Speaking about the announcement, Penny Williams, Managing Director, CDW UK & International, said, “Being named the Official IT Services Supplier of the 2027 Ryder Cup is a tremendous moment for CDW and for the suppliers we will be working alongside. In Rome in 2023 we showed what is possible when you combine best-in-class technology with deep services capability; in 2027 we are going further, taking prime responsibility for the entire technology platform that allows the event to run securely, reliably and at full global broadcast scale. It is a privilege to support the Ryder Cup organisation again, and a powerful demonstration of the end-to-end delivery model our customers rely on every day.”
Richard Atkinson, Chief Ryder Cup Officer at the European Tour Group, added, “The Ryder Cup sets a benchmark for live sporting experience, and the technology behind it has to be every bit as world-class as the competition on the course. For 2027 we needed a supplier capable of taking end-to-end accountability for the IT infrastructure, from deployment of the network and security centre design, through live operations, to post-event recovery, and doing it at the scale and resilience this event demands. CDW has the engineering depth, the integration expertise and the operational discipline to deliver exactly that, and we are delighted to be extending our relationship for 2027.”
The partnership highlights the growing strategic importance of technology providers within the sports industry, as organisers increasingly rely on resilient digital infrastructure to support tournament operations, cybersecurity, broadcast production and fan engagement. For CDW, the agreement adds another flagship event to its expanding sports portfolio, which also includes serving as the official IT equipment services and solutions provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA.
With preparations now underway for the 2027 Ryder Cup, Ryder Cup Europe and the PGA of America have entrusted CDW with delivering the technology backbone for an event that attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators on-site and a global television audience, reinforcing the company’s credentials as a trusted partner for mission-critical sporting events.
