DHL has been chosen to supply distribution and delivery of equipment, infrastructure and merchandise to the 2006 Ryder Cup in Co. Kildare, Ireland in September.
The Ryder Cup partnership is DHL’s latest involvement with a major sporting event, following its logistical support of the British Lions rugby tour and Masters Tennis Tournament last year. DHL is also continuing its role as the official carrier to The Football Association and its global logistics partnership with F1.
Richard Hills, European Ryder Cup director, said: “The secure distribution of Ryder Cup credentials, staging equipment and merchandise is a key component in the organisation of an event of this scale and DHL will have an important role to play in this area.”
