Returning to the AJGA schedule in 2021, the Wyndham Cup will celebrate more than 30 years of storied team match play competition when 40 of the nation's top junior golfers descend on Bulls Bay Golf Club in Awendaw, South Carolina, July 6-9.
This year's teams were determined by the Rolex AJGA Rankings and a dividing line that runs from the eastern border of Texas extending northward through the eastern border of North Dakota.
The East enters as defending champion because the 2020 Wyndham Cup was canceled due to COVID-19. The East won 27.5-22.5 in 2019 at Old Town Club in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
