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

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.
