Fire Up the Grills, the Block Party will Return to the PGA Championship

Four years ago, Michael Block won the hearts of golf fans with his performance at the PGA Championship. He converted a nasty up-and-down on the final hole to tie for 15th, automatically earning him a spot in the following PGA at Valhalla. But that wasn’t the highlight of his week.

Playing alongside Rory McIlroy in the final round, Block sent galleries and Golf Twitter into a frenzy with his hole-in-one at the par-3 15th.

However, the more time he’s spent in the spotlight, the more fans he’s lost. From endorsements with Raising Cane's and Malbon Golf to his statement about being one of the best players in the world if he could drive it like McIlroy, Block has created some buzz.

But if you’re still attending the Block Party, we have some great news for you. With a top-10 finish in this week’s PGA Professional Championship at Bandon Dunes—we need more pro and amateur events at that place—Block earned a spot at Aronimink later this month.

It will be his tenth major championship start, and the man known as Blockie was vibing after accomplishing his mission on the cliffs of Oregon—fair warning: the video is a little on the cringe side.

Since flashing at Oak Hill in 2023, Block has missed two straight cuts at the PGA. Maybe we can get back in his bag in a few weeks outside Philadelphia.
