Networking for AI: Building the foundation for real-time intelligence

AI inference-ready networks are essential infrastructure for turning AI's potential into performance. The Ryder Cup is an almost-century-old tournament pitting Europe against the United States in an elite showcase of golf skill and strategy. At the 2025 event, nearly a quarter of a million spectators gathered to watch three days of fierce competition on the fairways. From a technology and logistics perspective, pulling off an event of this scale is no easy feat. The Ryder Cup's infrastructure must accommodate the tens of thousands of network users who flood the venue (this year, at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York) every day. To manage this IT complexity, Ryder Cup engaged technology partner HPE to create a central hub for its operations.
