Michael Block Shot a 3-Under at Bandon and He's Got a Message For Everyone About to Lose Their Mind
Remember Michael Block? The guy who made the cut at the 2023 PGA Championship as a club pro, hit an ace on Sunday playing with Rory, and finished tied for 15th? Yeah, he's back. And if you weren't already tired of hearing his name, get ready to hear it a lot more.
Block just qualified for this year's PGA Championship after shooting a 3-under final round at Bandon. Last year was the first time his exemption ran out, so he had to get back into the mix through qualifying. Mission accomplished. And his message to everyone about to complain about seeing his face all over the place? "Whatever, be a hater."

Look, Block was supposed to be the feel-good story. A club pro making a cut at a major, holing an ace on national TV, finishing tied for 15th. That's the kind of thing people rally around. But then the cameras wouldn't leave him alone. The media coverage became relentless. And somewhere between the highlight reels and the constant airtime, people just... turned. They turned fast.
Now here's where it gets interesting. Block's not pretending it didn't happen. He's not trying to win people back with humility or a quieter approach. Instead, he's leaning into it. He's embracing the villain role, telling haters to bring it on. It's either genius or completely unhinged, and honestly, it might be both.
Get Ready For May
The PGA Championship is coming up, and it's sneaking up on us faster than you'd think. Block will be there at Aronimink, and you can bet we're going to see plenty of Michael Block shots all week long. If you're already annoyed about that, well, Block's got two words for you.
Whether you love him, hate him, or love to hate him, one thing's clear: this year's PGA Championship is going to be appointment viewing. Block made sure of that.
