Social Media Reacts to Michael Block Story

If there’s one person in the world right now who’s having a better timer than Michael Block, they’d be hard-pressed to find.

The PGA Head Professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, is an absolute sensation at the moment, capturing the hearts of sports fans across the world after his incredible performance at the 2023 PGA Championship last week.

Block’s iconic final-round ace, his up-and-down to punch a ticket to next year’s PGA, and general lovable demeanor broadcasted for four straight days had people inspired to say the least.

Check out some of the comments from across the @PGA social media channels:

His whole day, tournament really, is perhaps the greatest human interest story I’ve ever seen in golf. And that’s saying something. How cool was that?

The Masters need to invite the low Club Pro to make the cut at the PGA Championship to Augusta National in April. They can call it the "Michael Block exemption.”
