Although it’s unclear as to how many members Wentworth Club now possesses, The Times reported that there was a growing rebellion from the membership<\/a> in April 2025 surrounding a number of issues.<\/p>\n

What we do know is that famous members at Wentworth Club include England soccer stars John Terry and Harry Kane. Previously, chat show legend, Sir Michael Parkinson, was also a member before his unfortunate death.<\/p>\n

Since taking over, Reignwood Group has invested significantly into the course but, in 2024, was forced to deny rumors that Wentworth Club was being sold to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF).<\/p>\n

In an exclusive from Golf Monthly<\/a>, the club stated that there were no plans for the iconic club to change hands, with a statement from Wentworth’s Board reading: “Wentworth Club is not for sale.<\/p>\n

“There have been numerous expressions of interest in buying Wentworth post COVID, but Reignwood is committed to its position of long-term investment in the asset.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Throughout its history, Wentworth Club has hosted many legends of the game, with some of the sport’s most…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-134703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
