Kevin Pietersen has withdrawn his application to join the prestigious Sunningdale Golf Club after it was indicated that four existing members would veto his bid. The cricketer, a two handicap golfer, was keen to join the club located near his home, which requires a membership fee of approximately £92,000. Despite having friends initiate the application, it became clear that objections would arise before the formal proposal process even began. Notably, former teammate Andrew Strauss, who has a complicated history with Pietersen, is a member of Sunningdale but is not believed to have opposed his application. Sources indicate that Pietersen plans to reapply in the future, as he is currently a member at Wentworth Golf Club. The exclusivity and secretive nature of Sunningdale's membership process prevent any potential new member from joining if just one current member objects.
