Ryder Cup Recap: Big Tournaments, Big Infrastructure — Supporting Event Venues with Procurement Muscle

As the 2025 Ryder Cup wrapped up this weekend in New York, golf fans were treated to world-class performances — but behind the scenes, another high-stakes operation was underway. From temporary power systems and AV equipment to security networks and crowd management infrastructure, events of this scale rely on seamless coordination and rock-solid procurement strategies. And while not every organization is hosting a global sports event, the challenges faced by tournament organizers should sound familiar to universities, casinos, stadiums, and municipal venues across the country.

The Hidden Complexity of Hosting Major Events

Whether it’s a major conference, athletic tournament, or cultural event, high-traffic venues need more than just good planning — they need infrastructure. Think surveillance systems that scale, mobile check-in units, secure data networks, weather-resistant AV setups, and portable power sources. These systems must be sourced quickly, installed correctly, and integrated seamlessly, often with tight deadlines and multiple vendors in the mix.

What makes this even more complex? Many of these purchases fall outside the typical procurement cycle, requiring one-time purchases or temporary installations that still need to meet compliance standards. Add in supply chain delays or vendor shortages, and what should be a straightforward event setup can turn into a logistical minefield.
