Michael Block had a strong campaign in 2023, finishing second in a Major for the first time. In 2023, he was ranked 15th in the world at the PGA Championship.
Block, on the other hand, is uncertain that he will be able to repeat the feat in 2024. During a recent visit to the Country Club Adjacent Podcast, America discussed his PGA Championship experience. He admitted that finishing in the top 15 in the major would be difficult for him again.
Block mentioned that his major priority in 2024 will be traveling the world and meeting new people.
“It’s going to be tough to beat 23, to be honest, ever again in my life,” Block told ESPN. “There’s no way I’m going to finish in the top 15 of a major and then travel around the world meeting everyone I know.” There’s no way I’m going to beat it. I’m just going to go out and try not to humiliate myself; my primary priority is to go out and have a good time.”
Michael Block discussed his forthcoming PGA Tour appearance frankly. He revealed that he will be competing this year with Farmers Insurance and American Express.
“I’ve got a couple of tour events here shortly.” At PGA West, I have Farmers Insurance and American Express. I’ll have those in January. So we’ll see how that affects my direction. So, if I do well in one of those, that may light up 2024,” he remarked.
Block auditioned for Farmers Insurance and American Express in 2023 but was not selected. He finished 7-under par 209 at the American Express after three rounds of 65, 71, 73, 74, and 73 at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Michael Block’s 2023 performance
Michael Block has been awarded special permission to compete in the PGA Tour and DP World Tour events in 2023. However, he has missed the cut in the majority of Tour events in which he has competed. Block began the year with The American Express but did not cut. His bad play continued in the Farmers Insurance Open, as he failed to cut yet again.
His best finish was a tie for 15th place in the PGA Championship with Eric Cole and Tyrrell Hatton. At the Major, he shot three rounds of 70, then one round of 71 to finish one stroke over par. Block had also competed in the World Wide Technology Championship, the RBC Canadian Open, and the Charles Schwab Challenge, but none of them had reached the cut. Block had also competed in the ISPS Handa Australian Open, finishing in a tie for 27th place.
