Michael Block expresses gratitude for his supporters

When asked where his tremendous feelings came from, Block expressed gratitude to his supporters and humbly admitted:

"I feel very, very lucky. My family, My Club, The members, The PGA, Everything - The support I'm a very, very lucky guy."

Block attributed his achievement to a combination of skill, dedication, and the lucky circumstances that have created his incredible career. He also recognized the significant relationship between an individual's mental and emotional state and their performance on the course.

"If your life is in a good place the hole looks big and that's what I figured out long time ago. I wasn't going to be a TOUR pro because I don't want to have to make putts to pay my mortgage. So, I'm like I need a real job that's going to be paying me weekly so that will make the hole look bigger."

Despite his status as a teaching professional, Michael Block has defied expectations by competing at the PGA Championship alongside world-class players. While he may not be able to devote as many hours to the driving range or weight room as his top competitors, Block's experience speaks volumes.

This year marks his fifth appearance in the PGA Championship, a remarkable feat accomplished by his second-place finish in the 2023 PGA Professional Championship. Block has participated in this important tournament for nine straight seasons, making him a regular presence in his career.

His ability to juggle his teaching responsibilities while excelling at the highest level of competition demonstrates Michael Block's tenacity and unwavering passion for the sport.
