DP World Tour is bringing Amazon Leo satellite internet into professional golf, becoming the first live sports events organizer to use the service across its tournaments starting in 2026. The move matters because the tour plays 42 events across 25 countries, often in remote venues where stable ground-based internet can be hard to set up quickly.

For the tour, this is less about flashy tech and more about fixing a real event-day problem. Reliable connectivity now underpins almost everything at a modern tournament, from live scoring and broadcast operations to merchandise payments, concession systems, and fan-facing apps. Amazon says its Leo Ultra, Leo Pro, and Leo Nano terminals are designed for fast setup and breakdown, which fits a circuit that moves from one country to the next almost every week.

That gives the partnership a practical edge. Instead of depending entirely on local telecom infrastructure, the tour can use Amazon’s low Earth orbit network to get high-speed coverage on site, including at courses spread over large areas where connectivity can be patchy. Amazon describes Leo as a constellation of more than 3,000 low Earth orbit satellites, built to deliver broadband to places beyond the reach of traditional networks.
