Why club pro Michael Block is back in the PGA Championship after last year’s incredible run

Here’s why Michael Block is back at the 2024 PGA Championship.

The story of the 2023 PGA Championship — besides Brooks Koepka winning at Oak Hill — was Michael Block, the club pro who had a miraculous run that included a hole-in-one that his home club went nuts at.

Now, he’s back for the 2024 PGA Championship, and you may be wondering: how did he qualify for that honor to play with the world’s best golfers at Valhalla?

The answer is simple: he finished in a tie for 15th, and the top-15 golfers from that tournament automatically qualified for the 2024 PGA Championship.

There you have it! Hopefully we see another miraculous fairytale run from him this year.
