AJGA Wyndham Invitational returns to Sedgefield for 25th year

Sedgefield Country Club is once again putting Greensboro on the summer golf map, using its Donald Ross Course as a proving ground for juniors who hope to follow the same path that leads to the Wyndham Championship. The American Junior Golf Association’s Wyndham Invitational presented by Odyssey is scheduled for June 8-11 at the historic Guilford County club, with 72 boys ages 12-19 competing over 54 holes of stroke play.

The tournament fee is $295, and the course will play as a par 70 at 6,982 yards, with AJGA listing the boys’ slope and rating at 75.2/140. For Sedgefield, the event is more than a standalone junior tournament. It is part of a long-running summer rhythm at the same course that also hosts the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship, reinforcing the club’s role as a feeder stage where elite youth golf meets one of North Carolina’s most established professional stops.

AJGA’s current event page lists Willie Gordon as the 2025 champion, with Asher Vargas winning in 2024, Blades Brown in 2023 and Henry Guan in 2022. Those names underline how quickly the Invitational can become a checkpoint for future elite players. Jackson Koivun, who finished fourth in the 2022 event at Sedgefield before later becoming the world No. 1 amateur, is one of the clearest examples of how much weight the week can carry.

The field also arrives with the kind of depth that has made the Wyndham Invitational one of AJGA’s better-known invitationals. In prior coverage, AJGA said the tournament featured 72 of the top-ranked male juniors, including 41 players inside the top 100 of the Rolex AJGA Rankings, 34 college commits and competitors from 19 states and five countries. AJGA has also said 49 PGA Tour winners have competed in the event over the years, along with 12 U.S. Amateur champions, 15 U.S. Junior Amateur champions and seven NCAA Division I men’s individual champions.

That history matters in Greensboro because it ties directly to the city’s golf identity. Sedgefield is not just hosting another junior event; it is keeping alive a pipeline that links local fairways, national junior rankings and the professional stage that returns later in the summer. For Guilford County, the Wyndham Invitational remains a familiar signal that the region’s sports-tourism brand is built as much on development and continuity as on the tournament itself.
