The 2024 PGA Championship will feature American golfer Michael Block. Despite not playing in many tournaments this year, the 47-year-old has earned qualification to one of the most prestigious tournaments in the sport. This has raised questions about how Block managed to qualify.
To answer the same, Block qualified on the basis of his performance at the PGA Championship in 2023. At the time, the golfer had a dream run that saw him finish on T15 after four rounds. This performance helped Block gain automatic qualification into the 2024 edition of the tournament.
His dream run at last year's PGA Championship helped him gain exemptions into other tournaments as well. Block received exemptions into the Charles Schwab Challenge and the World Wide Technology Championship, to name a few.
Regardless, given his campaign at the PGA Championship in 2023, it will be interesting to see how Michael Block does in the 2024 edition of the tournament against some of the biggest players in the sport.
Ahead of the PGA Championship, CBS will air a Michael Block special
