PGA Championship 2024: Block remarked on Tuesday, “I couldn’t believe that my game held up for four straight days at Oak Hill.” “What a challenging golf course. A very magnificent golf course, particularly after we started to lose the roll (on the fairways) on Saturday morning due to the rain. The 47-year-old club pro’s swing and putting stroke amazed me with how well they held up throughout that period.
Block makes his PGA Championship comeback a year later, attending the event at Valhalla Golf Club for the first time since 2014.
Block declared, “Valhalla is just a spectacular track.” “This entire week, I have not heard a one bad comment from a player or caddie. just advantages. It’s really equitable. I can’t wait to get outside and get things going.”
