Michael Block got emotional in his post-PGA Championship press conference: ‘I’m living a dream’

Michael Block’s life has been forever changed thanks to his performance in the 2023 PGA Championship.

Block became the story of the tournament this past weekend after the 46-year-old PGA club pro — and golf instructor! — entered Sunday in eighth place even at par, besting many of the biggest names in the sport. Not only that, Block sunk a sublime hole-in-one in his last round at Oak Hill, sending his home club Arroyo Trabuco into a frenzy.

MORE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Brooks Koepka had a great exchange with Michael Block after the club pro’s fairytale PGA Championship.

When all was said and done, Block finished tied for 15th with a plus-one, an incredible result for one of golf’s best stories in a very long time. In his press conference after his final round, Block got quite teary-eyed and emotional when talking about what this past week has meant to him.

And yes, Block will be back at the PGA Championship next year after automatically qualifying with his run this go around. What a life-changing week for Block!
