Endorsements, a Cadillac, event invitations and golf with Michael Jordan among the perks that came with his sudden fame.
How has life changed for Michael Block since the Southern California club professional burst into the national spotlight three months ago during the PGA Championship?This is how Block, the head professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, summed up the immediate and ongoing aftermath of his memorable week at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY, which included a 15th-place finish and a highlight-reel hole-in-one in the final round that went viral on social...
For the 15th-place finish—best by a club pro since Lonnie Nielsen’s T11 at the 1986 PGA Championship—Block received the crystal bowl that goes to the low club professional in the event and a career-best $288,000 paycheck. * Since the PGA, Block has signed several new endorsement contracts, including with Cisco, Michelob Ultra, Raising Canes and Corebridge Financial, to go along with his existing TaylorMade and Nike deals that likely will be sweetened when they expire.
“I didn’t win, but it was an honor just to be nominated,” Block said, adding that it was cool to meet Mike Tyson and that he was asked to give a putting lesson to Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in the Green Room.
