American professional golfer James Tyree "J.T." Poston was born on June 1, 1993, and he has won two titles on the PGA Tour. On the Web.com Tour, Poston Monday qualified for the United Leasing Championship and ended T23 after beginning 2016 with no standings on any tour.

Poston qualified for the Rex Hospital Open owing to his finish, and a tie for third place there secured him season-long Special Temporary Member status. In the regular season, Poston finished 10th on the money list and was awarded a 2017 PGA Tour card after five additional top-15s, including two second-place results.

Poston played bogey-free throughout the event and shot an 8-under-62 in the final round to win the Wyndham Championship on August 4, 2019, marking his first professional victory. He was the first golfer to win a PGA Tour event without making any bogeys since 1974.

On July 3, 2022, Poston defeated Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Emiliano Grillo by a margin of three strokes to win the John Deere Classic. Being the first player to win the tournament from start to finish since 1992, Poston held the lead after every round. He also earned a spot in the 2022 Open Championship due to this victory.

J.T. Poston's Caddie

J. T. Poston’s caddie is Aaron Flener as of April 2024.

At TK High School in Kentucky, Flener began playing golf at Kenny Perry's invitation and has been on the course ever since. After playing golf in high school, the professional caddie entered collegiate golf and did fairly well from 2001 to 2004.

However, after graduation, he discovered his passion for golf not on the course but rather in the cart. Flener has never stated why he made the decision, although it appears that he is content with it.

Flener started out in golf as a caddie for fellow Kentucky native Kent Bulle. He began playing golf with German Stephen Jaeger shortly afterwards, and the two of them spent a good deal of time together on the links.

The looper eventually got a job with J.T. Poston. It's unclear exactly when the two got together, although it was sometime in early May 2018, following the golfer's PGA Tour card.

A well-known social media platform called The Caddie Network allows hosts to assist caddies in sharing their amazing tales. Before he and J.T. Poston headed to the course at the 2023 Tournament of Champions, the seasoned caddie for Poston also answered some questions and said a few things on the channel during their "Under the Strap" part.

Flener conceded that the caddies could make "practice rounds" only when the host questioned whether they could truly push carts up the Kapalua course's steep slopes. Additionally, the looper mentioned that walking the circuit during the event's competitive rounds could provide challenges.

He called it a "rude awakening," saying it served as a reminder of how little exercise he had been getting. To be able to take on the challenge, he added hesitantly that he was attempting to shed weight before the event. Nevertheless, Flener seemed satisfied with his position as a caddie.

What is the net worth of Aaron Flener?
