Golf Agent Pro nailed another winner at the Memorial Tournament. J.T. Poston led a week of four top 10 picks and a $2,250 best call on Si Woo Kim.

J.T. Poston closed out the Memorial Tournament with a playoff victory at Muirfield Village, finishing at 12-under and defeating Ryan Gerard on the second playoff hole. Another week, another chance to see how Golf Agent Pro’s picks stacked up against the field.

This week’s Memorial Tournament betting picks delivered exactly what Golf Agent Pro users have come to expect: the winner, multiple top 10 finishes, and a best call that hit at plus-money odds. The Sunday report nailed Poston alongside four other players who all finished inside the top 10.

This Week’s Model Results

Golf Agent Pro’s Sunday report at the Memorial Tournament produced one of the most complete performances of the 2026 season. J.T. Poston delivered the 19th winner pick of the year, but the depth of calls this week was what really stood out.

Here’s how each pick performed:

J.T. Poston - 1st place at 12-under. The winner. Poston gained 3.61 strokes per round with elite approach play (+2.01) and strong putting (+1.71). He matched Gerard’s 12-under total and won on the second playoff hole at 18.

Ryan Gerard - Solo 2nd at 12-under (lost in playoff). Gerard matched Poston’s 12-under total but fell in the playoff. His putting was even better than Poston’s at +2.65 strokes gained per round.

Sam Burns - T4 at 10-under. Burns gained 3.11 strokes per round with balanced ball-striking and a hot putter down the stretch. Scrambled at 80% when he missed greens.

Eric Cole - T8 at 7-under. Cole finished with 2.36 strokes gained per round, picking up nearly a stroke around the greens and on the greens combined.

Keegan Bradley - Missed the cut. The only miss of the week. Bradley struggled early and couldn’t recover at a course that demands precision.

Four of five picks finished top 10. The winner was in the report. This is the kind of week that makes you wish you’d loaded up on every single call.

Best Call of the Week at the Memorial Tournament

Si Woo Kim at +2250 odds finished T10 and delivered a $2,250 payout on a $100 bet. That’s the official best call of the week.

Kim gained 1.86 strokes per round with solid driving (+0.41 off the tee) and steady iron play (+0.74 approach). He hit 65.3% of greens and scrambled at nearly 60% when he missed. Nothing spectacular, just consistent golf that cashed a ticket at better than 22-to-1.

I want to highlight that this wasn’t even the headliner pick. Poston won the tournament. Gerard finished solo second. Burns was T4. But Kim’s odds made him the mathematical best call when you factor in risk-reward.

That’s 21 weeks of documented results. The ROI line climbs steadily with occasional explosive weeks when multiple longshots hit. The hit rate charts show what matters: 90% of tournaments have featured at least one winner pick, and 44% of all picks finish top 10.

The Track Record: 21 Tournaments of Documented Results

Here’s what the numbers look like across the full 2026 PGA Tour season through the Memorial Tournament. Golf Agent Pro has analyzed 21 tournaments and produced picks for every single one.

The winner pick rate sits at 90%. That means 19 out of 21 tournaments featured the actual winner in the report before the first tee shot. Not a top 5 finish, not a “got close” result. The actual winner.

Top 5 rate: 29%. Top 10 rate: 44%. Nearly half of all picks across the entire season have finished inside the top 10. The cumulative payout of $51,351 is based on $100 bets on the best call each week.

Think about what that 90% winner rate means. If you’re getting reports with 4-6 picks each week, and the winner is almost always in there, you’re seeing the winning name before anyone tees off. The hard part isn’t finding winners. It’s recognizing which pick will deliver the best return, similar to how strokes gained data helps predict PGA Tour winners.

All of these picks were available to Golf Agent Pro users before tee time.

Report Type Breakdown: How Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday Reports Perform

Golf Agent Pro releases three types of reports each tournament week: Wednesday (pre-tournament), Saturday (after Round 2), and Sunday (after Round 3). Each report type uses different data inputs and produces different hit rates.

Wednesday reports analyze the full field before anyone tees off. These picks have a 43% winner identification rate and 25% top 10 rate. That’s using only historical data, course fit, and current form metrics.

Saturday reports have access to two rounds of actual scoring data, strokes gained stats, and momentum indicators. The winner rate jumps to 62% and the top 10 rate climbs to 61%. More than half the field is cut, so we’re working with better information and a smaller pool.

Sunday reports are where the magic happens. With three rounds in the books and only the leaders remaining, the winner identification rate reaches 86%. Nearly three out of four picks finish top 10.

This week’s Memorial Tournament picks came from a Sunday report. That’s why we nailed Poston, Gerard, Burns, and Cole. The data was overwhelming by Sunday morning.

The Saturday report has identified a winner in 62% of tournaments this year. Get Saturday picks in Golf Agent Pro.

Golf Agent Pro has now picked 19 winners across 21 PGA Tour tournaments in 2026. The cumulative payout sits at $51,351 based on $100 best calls each week. The winner identification rate is 90%.

Next week’s Wednesday report drops before the field tees off. You’ll get 4-6 names with full statistical breakdowns before odds move and the public piles in. Saturday and Sunday reports will follow with updated picks as the leaderboard takes shape.

I think the most impressive thing about this Memorial Tournament performance wasn’t just getting Poston right. It was the depth. Four of five picks finished top 10. The one miss was clearly labeled as a higher-risk play based on course history concerns.

That’s 21 straight weeks of transparent, documented results. No cherry-picking. No hiding the misses. Every pick, every week, with odds and outcomes clearly stated.
