Flagstaff, AZ – The 2025 Wyndham Cup, celebrating its 35th year, will return to Forest Highlands Golf Club – Canyon Course in Flagstaff, Arizona for the first time since 2009, when it was known as the Canon Cup.
The event brings together 40 of the nation’s top junior golfers from the East and West, July 7–10, 2025. Over the course of three days, the two teams will compete in four different formats in pursuit of the cup: four-ball, foursomes, mixed foursomes, and singles.
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.
Last year’s event ended with an East victory at The Golf Club at Briar’s Creek in Johns Island, South Carolina, by a narrow margin of 25.5–24.5. The East will look to retain the cup this year, while the West aims for its first win since the 2022 Wyndham Cup at Old Sandwich Golf Club in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
