Club pro Michael Block receives PGA Tour exemption after dazzling fans at 2023 PGA Championship
If you want a little more Michael Block in your life, fear not, he’s not going back to his club pro day job just yet.
After dazzling fans on the weekend – including an ace during Sunday’s final round – and finishing as the low professional at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, Block is taking his talents to the PGA Tour.
The 46-year-old who teaches at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, received a sponsor exemption into next week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, May 25-28, at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
Block shot a 1-over 71 in the final round to finish T-15 at 1 over for the tournament and punch his ticket to next year’s PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Block party heads to Fort Worth!
