When will Michael Block play next on the PGA Tour? SCPGA Player of the Year winner confirms next event after win

Michael Block put on a stunning show recently at Sherwood Country Club. After coming a one-shot deficit to the leader in the final round, he shot a powerful 6 under 66 to clinch his second consecutive Southern California PGA Championship title on Wednesday.

With the victory in California, the club pro has secured a spot in The American Express, a PGA Tour event, in January. Interestingly, he participated in the same competition last season but failed to make the cut.

The Mission Viejo, California-based club professional made headlines at the second major of 2023, the PGA Championship. He put on a blistering performance at the Oak Hill Country Club and finished T15 on the leaderboard. This was also the best finish by a club professional since 1986, when Lonnie Nielsen finished T11.

However, after his outing at the second major of the season, Michael Block hit rock bottom and missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge and RBC Canadian Open. Later, he even failed to get an invite for the US Open after losing the qualifier event.
