Stewart loves J.T. Poston at +3,300 in the no-Scheffler outright market. Poston finished T-12 here last year after the renovation and came in 5th at Valhalla, showing both course fit and current form. Stewart emphasized that Poston tends to string elite results together; in 2022 he followed a runner-up at the Travelers with a win at the John Deere the very next week. Ball-striking gains over the past season have finally aligned with his trademark hot putter—an ideal recipe on Colonial’s brand-new surfaces. Stewart believes a spike putting week could land Poston in the winner’s circle or at worst lock up a high-end placement ticket.

Brady Kannon grabbed J.T. Poston at 40-1 outright and for a top-20 after Poston posted a solo 5th at last week’s PGA Championship, his 13th consecutive made cut in 2025. Colonial comp-course résumé is deep: five career top-10s at Harbour Town, prior top-10s at Colonial, Sea Island and Waialae. Statistically over the last 24 rounds he sits 21st in proximity from 100-125 yards, 12th in Driving Accuracy and 10th in SG: Putting on Bentgrass greens— three key buckets in Kannon’s model. With the renovated Colonial emphasizing wedge play and fairway finding, Kannon expects Poston’s precision game and red-hot short stick to keep him on the first page of the leaderboard all week.

Pat Mayo highlighted J.T. Poston as a sneaky outright and DFS target after his strong showing last week. Mayo drew a straight line between Colonial and two of Poston’s favorite venues—Harbour Town and Sedgefield—emphasizing that all three courses are short, tree-lined, and demand wedge-heavy approach games. Poston has gained at least four strokes putting in four of his past six starts, and Mayo believes the flat stick is critical at Colonial where winners routinely eclipse +6 SG:Putting. With Poston’s recent ball-striking trending up and a proven track record on comparable layouts, Mayo is comfortable eating moderate ownership in DFS and taking a flyer at 45-to-1 or better in the outright market.

In one-and-done formats, Andy Lang is rolling with J.T. Poston, citing Colonial’s modest 7,200-yard layout as a perfect match for the straight but shorter hitter. Poston is coming off a fifth-place finish last week and logged a T12 at Colonial in 2024, proving the fit. Lang added that Poston’s putter heated up over the weekend—gaining 4.1 strokes on the greens—and feels his recent spike in birdie rate makes him an ideal high-floor option for gamers chasing season-long prize pools without burning an elite stud.

Shane Bacon is fading J.T. Poston after Poston poured ‘a lot of energy’ into last week’s run at Quail Hollow. Bacon worries about the quick turnaround and emotional hangover, especially at a shot-making venue like Colonial where precision off the tee replaces the birdie-fest style that suits Poston best. He suggests betting against Poston in head-to-heads or leaving him off DFS builds.

Elliott Heath backed J.T. Poston at +4000, pointing to a cocktail of current form and course comfort. Poston is fresh off a career-best T5 at the PGA Championship where he said the result finally made him "truly believe" he can win a Major. Colonial has treated him kindly—T12 last year and T10 in 2020—so Heath is willing to overlook a few missed cuts in between. With Poston arriving brimming with confidence and returning to a layout he has cracked before, Heath sees 40-1 as a mis-price and advised an outright wager.

Andy Lack highlighted J.T. Poston as one of the best value plays on both outright cards and DFS rosters for the Charles Schwab Challenge. When he blended results from the four closest comp courses – Harbour Town, Sedgefield, Waialae, and Valspar – plus Southern Hills (all short, accuracy-driven layouts with Bermuda rough), Poston ranked third in the entire field behind only Chris Kirk and Tommy Fleetwood. That track record pairs with Poston’s current form: steady approach numbers and a surprising run at Quail Hollow, a venue that does not usually suit him. Lack expects Poston’s Sunday fade at the PGA Championship to keep his Vegas number and DFS ownership in check, creating a buy-low window. He projects a top-15 finish with legitimate win equity if the putter heats up, recommending early outright bets, top-20 props, and heavy exposure in single-entry DFS builds under $8K salary tiers.

Eric Polzin labeled J.T. Poston a mis-priced salary saver at $6,400. Poston brings a 12-event cut streak into the PGA Championship and has finished T23, 11th, 42nd, 26th, 28th, and 33rd over his last six individual starts. While his Quail Hollow results (60th, 81st, 26th) are underwhelming, he grades fifth in the 9to5 "likely course ties" metric and continues to gain strokes tee-to-green. Polzin believes the floor provided by the cut streak and the recent top-30 cadence make Poston a strong glue guy who allows double-stud builds without resorting to sub-6K darts.

Patrick McDonald said the Keith Mitchell–J.T. Poston partnership is firmly in his CAN-WIN bucket. McDonald called Mitchell the 'Thursday savant,' noting that Mitchell has either led or co-led after Round 1 in four of his last six PGA Tour starts this season. That early scoring punch is especially valuable at TPC Louisiana because the opening round is four-ball, allowing a hot player to post a low number without ruining his partner’s card. McDonald added that Poston’s putter (6th on Tour in SG: Putting for 2025) can keep the team afloat once the format flips to alternate shot, where steady short-game work often salvages pars. He believes that combination—Mitchell’s explosive tee-to-green starts plus Poston’s weekend putting—gives the duo real outright equity at 40-1 and makes them live in FRL markets as well.

Patrick McDonald identified Keith Mitchell and J.T. Poston as a live mid‑tier outright bet at the Zurich, arguing their skill sets mesh perfectly with the event’s format rotation. Mitchell has become a "Thursday savant," leading or co‑leading after Round 1 in several 2024 starts thanks to explosive driver play that shines in best‑ball. Poston, meanwhile, ranks among the Tour’s steadiest putters and can "keep them afloat" through the alternate‑shot grind over the final 54 holes. McDonald believes Mitchell’s early scoring can vault the team onto the front page, while Poston’s flatstick shores up any tee‑to‑green leaks. He advised sprinkling on their outright number and using them as a contrarian DFS stack when public rosters gravitate to higher‑priced super‑teams like Rory/Lowry.

Brian Kirschner laid -125 on Mitchell/Poston for a Top‑20 finish, calling them one of the field’s most balanced teams. Both are fresh off top‑11 results (Mitchell T2, Poston T11), Mitchell brings prior Zurich experience, and their contrasting strengths—Mitchell’s driving with Poston’s approach/putting—provide multiple paths to a steady finish even if one facet misfires.

John Schwarb fired on Poston/Mitchell at +2500 for First‑Round Leader. Mitchell tops the PGA Tour in opening‑round scoring average (67.1) and owns two career top‑6s at this event, while Poston is coming off a T11 at the RBC Heritage. Schwarb also likes the intangible chemistry of the "Sea Island Mafia" pals, which he says passes the Zurich’s ‘friends’ test that has mattered historically in team play.

Brian Giuffra wagered on Keith Mitchell and J.T. Poston at +1900, citing data that fits this course’s scoring profile. Poston is 64th in SG: Approach and 47th in birdie average (4.07), while Mitchell sits 4th in SG: Off‑the‑Tee and 19th in birdie average (4.32). Giuffra stressed that birdies and driving accuracy are paramount at TPC Louisiana and believes Poston’s consistency can help Mitchell erase late‑round closing woes.

Gannon likes the Poston–Mitchell pairing at 20‑to‑1 or longer, calling them the most attractive option in the second tier. Mitchell supplies elite driving distance and aggressive birdie looks, while Poston’s dialed‑in wedges and hot putting balance the team in alternate shot. Gannon quipped that Mitchell "can’t win alone," but with Poston covering the approach game they can absolutely win this format. Both players are comfortable with each other’s styles and are in solid recent form, making them a high‑ceiling bet if books drift to 20‑plus odds.

Brady Kannon backed the new Keith Mitchell / J.T. Poston pairing at 20‑1. Mitchell has thrived at TPC Louisiana with 6th‑ and 4th‑place finishes the past two years, and he arrives scorching after an 18th, 12th and runner‑up showing at Corales Puntacana. Poston has missed only one cut all season and just finished 11th at Harbour Town. Kannon likes their complementary skill sets—Mitchell is "one of the best in the game off the tee" while Poston owns an elite short game—plus both players rate highly in the specific strokes‑gained buckets he targeted (Tee‑to‑Green, Approach, Scrambling, Birdies or Better, Par‑4 450‑500, Bermuda putting). With recent winners coming from 20‑1 or shorter and solid course history, he sees them as a primary outright bet but notes a top‑20 hedge is reasonable if managers want less variance.

Patrick McDonald tabbed the Keith Mitchell / J.T. Poston tandem as his outright winner at 18‑1. McDonald said Mitchell has become a "first‑round‑leader lock" over the past month thanks to massive strides in ball‑striking and distance, giving the team the explosive start usually required in four‑ball, where scores dip into the low 60s. Poston, meanwhile, has rediscovered his putter, ranking among the week’s best in SG:Putting over his last three starts. McDonald expects them to shred the easier best‑ball sessions while "acquitting themselves nicely" in alternate‑shot because Mitchell’s length pairs with Poston’s wedge finesse. He believes the balanced skill set is built for a tournament that traditionally finishes around −25 and sees the 18‑1 price as a clear buying opportunity.

With Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry sucking up most of the headline equity, McClure’s model zeros in on J.T. Poston and Keith Mitchell at +330 for a top‑five finish. Poston brings three PGA Tour victories and a current OWGR inside the top‑50, while Mitchell has posted three straight top‑20s capped by a runner‑up at the Corales Puntacana. In a field short on elite pairings beyond the co‑favorites, the simulator views their ceiling as nearly equal to the Morikawa/Kitayama duo but at a better price. Bettors looking for exposure without fading McIlroy outright get plus odds on a finish that the model hits in 29% of iterations versus the 23% implied probability.

Polzin highlighted Keith Mitchell and J.T. Poston as the "team to go out of your way to target." They are 3rd in his overall rankings despite mid‑tier pricing. Poston arrives with 10 consecutive made cuts and an 11th‑place finish last start, while Mitchell owns four straight made cuts, including a runner‑up where he set the course record in round one. The duo share SEC roots and comparable playing styles that should translate to alternate‑shot chemistry. With sportsbooks hanging them in the 25‑to‑1 range, Polzin likes them for outrights, top‑5s, and as a DFS salary‑saver stack that still offers legitimate win equity.

Byron Lindeque likes a Keith Mitchell / J.T. Poston Top‑5 ticket at the Zurich, saying it could finally get Mitchell across the finish line without the solo‑Sunday pressure that has derailed him in individual events. Lindeque noted that the duo ranks top‑10 in his team SG model, marries Mitchell’s length with Poston’s red‑hot wedges, and owns pre‑tournament chemistry—Mitchell has paired successfully with Sungjae Im in past team formats. Because DraftKings ownership on the $10.1k tandem is likely to spike, Byron plans to FADE them in large‑field GPPs, but he still likes +400 or better in Top‑5 markets, arguing their combined ceiling is much higher than their outright price suggests.

Gannon touted Keith Mitchell and J.T. Poston as a prime pivot off the expected Griffin/Novak chalk. Mitchell has been a Thursday monster—holding or sharing the first‑round lead in three of his last six PGA starts—and Poston historically demolishes birdie fests. The pairing costs $9.9K but projects for much lower ownership than surrounding teams. Gannon expects them to contend for the event’s birdie bonus on DraftKings scoring and views them as an ideal GPP core when stacking McIlroy/Lowry up top.

Rick Gehman said the Keith Mitchell / J.T. Poston pairing is a core DFS target at $10K because their skill‑sets line up with the best‑ball / alternate‑shot scoring structure. Mitchell has flashed ceiling rounds all spring – 5.5 SG in Round 1 at Valspar, 5.2 SG R1 in Houston, 8.0 SG R1 at Valero, and 5.5 SG R1 in Punta Cana where he finished T‑2. Poston has rediscovered his putting stroke and can pick up the tee‑to‑green slack when Mitchell cools. Gehman likes the complementary nature of an elite ball‑striker (Mitchell) and a hot putter (Poston) who both own high birdie rates. Mitchell already owns a T4 and 6th at TPC Louisiana, reinforcing course comfort. In a week where bogeys are protected by a partner and scoring erupts, Gehman is "generally in" on this high‑variance team and expects them to be one of the most popular DFS builds.

Pat Fitzmaurice recommended an outright on Keith Mitchell and J.T. Poston at 18‑1, calling them a "steady duo" with both recent form and Zurich track record. Mitchell brings momentum after finishing runner‑up in the Dominican Republic and stringing together three straight top‑20s; he also owns a 4th (2021) and 6th (2023) at TPC Louisiana. Poston has not missed a cut all season and flashed upside with an 11th at RBC Heritage last week. Fitzmaurice likes Mitchell’s reputation as “Mr. Thursday” to grab an early lead in best‑ball rounds while Poston’s elite putting can smooth out alternate‑shot. The combination of proven chemistry and course fit makes them his favorite semi‑chalk play.

Brian Giuffra recommended betting Keith Mitchell/J.T. Poston outright at +1900 on Bet365. Mitchell is one of the PGA Tour’s all‑time fast starters, routinely popping as a first‑round leader—an edge in an event where only 33 teams make the cut. Giuffra believes Poston’s closing ability balances Mitchell’s historical Sunday drop‑offs; Poston fired a 67 on Sunday at the RBC Heritage to finish T11 and has missed just one cut all season. Mitchell showed Zurich comfort with a sixth‑place finish in 2023 and a T28 last year (with Joel Dahmen); Giuffra thinks Poston is an upgrade who can help the duo convert a hot start into a wire‑to‑wire win.

John Schwarb favors J.T. Poston in a head-to-head matchup prop bet against Justin Rose (-120 odds). Schwarb believes Rose may experience a letdown after an exhausting Masters week, reducing his motivation. Conversely, Poston holds strong motivation (70th in FedEx Cup points) and exceptional history at Harbour Town, recording four top-10s in his six appearances, making him a strong and motivated matchup play.

Iain MacMillan singles out J.T. Poston as a sneaky longshot at RBC Heritage (75-1 odds). Poston showcases impressive course history at Harbour Town, with finishes of T6 (2019), T8 (2020), T3 (2022), and T5 (2024). Given that driving accuracy is crucial at this venue and Poston ranks 26th on Tour in that metric, MacMillan believes Poston is worth a bet at this attractive price point due to his excellent course fit.

Rick Gehman likes J.T. Poston's chances at the RBC Heritage due to notable recent improvements in ball striking. Despite mediocre results at the Masters—where Poston lost marginal strokes in all four statistical categories—the worst loss was still minimal (only about 0.75 strokes around the green). Gehman emphasized that Poston has four top-8 finishes in his last six events, suggesting a return to form. Additionally, Harbour Town Golf Links aligns perfectly with Poston's precise style, evidenced by his strong historical performances at the venue. Gehman views Poston as heating up, and he anticipates this event will better suit Poston's skillset compared to Augusta National.

Byron Lindeque explicitly targeted J.T. Poston as an excellent outright option at 75 to 1 odds at Harbour Town, highlighting Poston's proven course-specific upside. Byron emphasized Poston's track record of excelling at specific venues, frequently performing at elite levels despite intermittent inconsistency. Poston displays multiple strong finishes previously at RBC Heritage, which indicates his comfort and ability to navigate the nuances of the layout. Byron further conveyed strong conviction that Poston would one day secure a victory at Harbour Town, underlining the current odds as particularly attractive.

Pat Fitzmaurice identified J.T. Poston as an intriguing, although volatile, betting play for RBC Heritage due to noteworthy course success. Poston has four top-20 finishes at Harbour Town in the last six editions, interspersed with two missed cuts. Despite having made every cut this season without impressive high-end results (best finish is just 16th place), Fitzmaurice recommends Poston as an appealing wager for lower-risk markets such as top-10 rather than an outright winner pick.

Andy Lack sees J.T. Poston as a near-perfect match for Harbour Town Golf Links, identifying it as an ideal fit based on Poston's strong course history. Lack specifically believes potential buyer's value might emerge if Poston quietly finishes poorly at The Masters, pushing odds toward more favorable territory. Although acknowledging the limited field may cap potential betting value, Lack maintains strong interest in Poston based purely on course alignment and proven history.

Pat Mayo discussed J.T. Poston as a compelling play at Harbour Town despite inconsistent tournament results. Mayo noted Poston has recorded four top-ten finishes across his six total appearances at RBC Heritage alongside two missed cuts, presenting a boom-or-bust betting scenario. While clarifying Poston previously won at Wyndham—a correlated design and style with Harbour Town—Mayo recommended taking a chance on Poston based on his excellent upside demonstrated at similar accuracy-demanding courses. This volatility makes Poston valuable for outright betting markets and DFS tournament lineups.

Iain MacMillan highlighted J.T. Poston (+7500) as a strong betting option for the RBC Heritage due to his consistently excellent performance at Harbour Town. Poston has repeatedly thrived at this event, with finishes of T6 (2019), T8 (2020), T3 (2022), and T5 (2024). MacMillan emphasized Poston's strengths in driving accuracy (ranked 26th on tour), which aligns perfectly with the course's emphasis on precision over length. Additionally, MacMillan noted Poston's typically inconsistent putting improves significantly on poa grass greens—the surface used at Harbour Town—further bolstering his chances at a strong finish.

Rick Gehman sees J.T. Poston as an intriguing DFS value this week at Augusta after an encouraging putting revival. Poston nearly won the Valero Texas Open, playing 60 excellent holes before faltering, still demonstrating the return of his putter, a positive indicator Gehman strongly highlighted. Additionally, Poston has a respectable Masters record, making cuts and finishing inside the top 35 in his last two Augusta appearances. Gehman expressed strong comfort rostering Poston at his affordable DFS pricing given these positive recent trends and steady Augusta history.

Eric Polzin advocated J.T. Poston as an appealing DFS target for the Masters due to his remarkable consistency currently—eight consecutive cuts made on the PGA Tour soon to be confirmed—and his record at Augusta, where he's made cuts in both of his last two starts. Polzin considered Poston an "easy click" at his cheap DraftKings price, useful in constructing balanced DFS rosters and comfortably fitting higher-salary golfers like Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy.

Matt Gannon endorsed J.T. Poston strongly for DFS play, noting encouraging recent trends. Poston has consistently gained strokes on approach since January and recently regained form with the putter, gaining strokes significantly in his last two events including at the Valspar Championship. Poston also boasts reliable history at Valero, having never missed a cut in four tries, which greatly increases his floor and appeal at an attractive DFS price.

Eric Polzin believes J.T. Poston offers attractive longshot outright potential at 55-1 odds due to recent steady form—seven straight made cuts and notable finishes including a 12th and 16th. However, Polzin cautioned against using him heavily in DFS owing to poor statistical indicators, where Poston ranks poorly in critical metrics like birdie-bogey ratio (61st) and par-4 scoring (72nd). While he represents value as a speculative winner bet, his statistical profile and moderate course record (31st at his only event start) justify caution in fantasy lineups.

Rick Gehman identified J.T. Poston as a strong DFS buy at $8,500 in the Valero Texas Open due to a significantly improved recent statistical profile. Despite inconsistent early-season putting struggles, Poston recently regained elite putting form, gaining eight strokes on the greens across eight measured rounds. Gehman also praised Poston's solid tee-to-green metrics this year and detailed that he's situated prominently in the upper-left quadrant of his trends tool, indicating likelihood of continued improvements. Gehman sees Poston's wedge play and putting skillset as ideally suited to capitalize on the weaker Texas Open field this week, believing his upside is that of a potential tournament winner.

Justin Van Zuiden recalls J.T. Poston's near miss at the Houston Open last year, where Poston bogeyed the 18th hole to narrowly miss out on joining a playoff. Poston's strong performance last year at Memorial Park, nearly clinching his first victory, highlights his comfort and competitive capability on this course. Van Zuiden emphasizes this recent past success makes Poston a valuable DFS option at likely modest ownership levels this week.

David Barnett singled out J.T. Poston as a sleeper pick for the Valspar Championship, currently at 45 to 1. Despite his challenging year with putting, Barnett was encouraged by Poston gaining 5.7 strokes on the greens recently, showing potential for a turnaround. Known for his solid iron play and short game capabilities, reminiscent of fellow tournament successes like Patrick Reed and Paul Casey, Poston could excel on the demanding Ennisbrook layout. With his best finish at this event being a T10 in 2023 and proven clutch performance, Poston is a potentially rewarding DFS and betting option.

Rick Gehman identified J.T. Poston as an appealing outright bet at 45 to 1 for the Valspar Championship due to recent promising signs with his putting. Poston, historically one of the PGA Tour's best putters, went through a troubling stretch losing 30 strokes putting across seven events, severely diminishing his results. Gehman pinpointed Poston's encouraging T33 finish at The Players Championship, driven by better putting, as potentially signaling a turnaround. He drew parallels between Valspar and courses like Sedgefield, where Poston has previously performed very well and even won. Gehman sees Poston as perfectly priced for a breakthrough week, making him an optimal betting choice if his putting is indeed back.

Rick Gehman strongly advised against trusting J.T. Posten, despite models highlighting him as a breakout candidate. Gehman explains Posten's putting woes—losing strokes putting significantly in every tournament in 2025, highlighted by an alarming 10-stroke loss at Bay Hill last week. Although his ball striking has improved, Gehman remains skeptical since putting is historically Posten's strength. Gehman believes Posten's putting struggles represent a critical deviation and recommends avoiding him until this issue is resolved.
