As you may recall, Michael Block starred in one of the "Cinderella stories" of the 2023 golf season. Everything went Block's way during the PGA Championship, from entering the event as part of the so-called "Corebridge Financial PGA Team" to qualifying for the next edition by finishing in the Top 15.

The icing on the cake was an ace on the 15th hole of the fourth round. It didn't hurt that he got it in front of Rory McIlroy. The picture shows him doffing his hat to the crowd after this iconic moment.

5- Jon Rahm to LIV Golf
