Michael Block was done at this yearâs PGA Championship. And there was some question whether he was finished with PGA Championships.
Since 2023, Block has been one of the stories at the yearâs second major. Thereâs been his golf â three years ago, the club pro from California memorably tied for 15th at the PGA. And thereâs been the man beyond the golf â some like his showman personality, some donât. But could this week be his final PGA? At Aronimink Golf Club just outside of Philly, Block opened with an even-par 70 â then shot four-over over his final nine holes on Friday, and he wonât play the weekend. Next month, he also turns 50.
Friday, though, he said he hopes to be back next year.
Maybe even the next five.
âSo I have to be honest with you,â Block told Sirius XMâs Jason Sobel. âThereâs no way in Godâs green Earth this is my last one. No chance.
âI will definitely qualify for one more, if not five more, to be honest. Even though Iâm going to turn 50, I still get the opportunity because of the PGA of America to go to the national championship [the PGA Professional Championship] and qualify for the top 20 to come here. And I definitely have some more in me, for sure. And thereâs no doubt about that. So if I do, I do. If I donât, I donât. And I got the senior stuff coming up, which is cool, right? But at the same time, I donât feel like Iâm done. I can still come to these. Iâm not going to compete. Like I canât win one of these, but I can at least get in here and have fun.â
