In the Women's Division, last year's runner-up Eunseo Choi went one better to claim first place with a combined score of 2 under par. She beat Waikato representative player Ing Iadpluem by 3 shots. 

In the Men's Division, Waikato representative player Tyler Wood found himself in a playoff for the second year in a row. After four rounds Tyler and Bay of Plenty's James Tauariki could not be separated both shooting combined scores of 11 under par. They replayed the 18th hole and both managed a par and then it was back down the first hole. James put his tee shot pin high three feet from the pin while Tyler, unfortunately, put his just wide of the green. Tyler wasn't able to make an up and down and James sunk his birdie putt to claim the 2021 Waikato Winter Strokeplay Title. Waikato representative player James Fellows-Ford had an impressive tournament finishing in third place at 9 under par.
