Michael Block’s life has been forever changed thanks to his performance in the 2023 PGA Championship.
Block became the story of the tournament this past weekend after the 46-year-old PGA club pro — and golf instructor! — entered Sunday in eighth place even at par, besting many of the biggest names in the sport. Not only that, Block sunk a sublime hole-in-one in his last round at Oak Hill, sending his home club Arroyo Trabuco into a frenzy.

When all was said and done, Block finished tied for 15th with a plus-one, an incredible result for one of golf’s best stories in a very long time. In his press conference after his final round, Block got quite teary-eyed and emotional when talking about what this past week has meant to him.
