2024-09-23

With the successful conclusion of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club in London, England, the global golf community once again turns its attention to this century-old course. American golfer Billy Horschel, with his outstanding performance, defeated a star-studded field to claim victory at Wentworth Club for the second time.

Wentworth Club, a prestigious golf sanctuary designed by the legendary architect Harry Colt, has a storied history of hosting 103 international tournaments since its inception in 1922. Over the decades, it has witnessed the transition from the political upheavals of World War II to the excitement of modern sports. Renowned for its three iconic 18-hole courses, elegant architecture, and beautifully landscaped gardens, Wentworth has established itself as a premier venue for major international championships, including the BMW PGA Championship and flagship events of the European Tour.

In 2014, Reignwood Group officially acquired Wentworth Club, bringing new vitality to this historic course through a range of innovative reforms. These included the introduction of advanced management practices, enhancements to the course environment, and the construction of a state-of-the-art conference center. During the tournament, Wentworth actively promoted green initiatives such as recycling and the utilization of green hydrogen as an alternative to traditional electricity. Partnering with the European Tour, they created an event that showcased the harmonious relationship between golf and environmental stewardship, underscoring the Group's steadfast commitment to sustainability and ecological responsibility.

For many years, Mr. Yan Bin has leveraged prestigious international events to highlight the rich history and culture of golf from various perspectives, fostering a meaningful exchange between Eastern and Western golf traditions. Keith Pelley, the Chairman of the European Tour, has frequently acknowledged Reignwood's longstanding support and contributions to international golf events. 

In this tournament, players and spectators from all over the world gathered together, and through Reignwood's platform of "When East Meets West," the fusion of sports and culture has reached new heights. By leveraging its extensive global resources in the green and health industries, the Group aims to create an international platform for cultural and sports exchange, contributing to the advancement of the global green economy and fostering understanding and cooperation between different civilizations.
