“No way I'm going to top 15 in a major” - Michael Block on his goals for the 2024 PGA Tour season

Michael Block enjoyed a successful campaign in 2023 and recorded his best finish at a Major to date. He was placed in the T15 position at the PGA Championship in 2023.

Block, however, is skeptical that he will be able to repeat the same feat in 2024. The America spoke about his experience of playing at the PGA Championship during a recent appearance on the Country Club Adjacent Podcast. He admitted that it would be challenging for him to again finish in the top 15 in the major.

Block stated that traveling the world and getting to know new people will be his top priorities in 2024.

"It's going to be tough to beat 23, to be honest, ever again in my life," Block said. "There's no way, actually, I'm going to top 15 in a major and then traveling around the world, basically meeting all the people I have. There's no way I (can) beat it. I'm just going to go out and try to not embarrass myself, go out and have a good time is my first thing."

Michael Block talked candidly about his upcoming PGA Tour appearance. He disclosed that he will be competing with Farmers Insurance and American Express this year.

"I've got a couple of tour events here early coming up. I've got the Farmers Insurance and The American Express at PGA West. I've got those in January. So we're going to see how that kind of directs me. So if I go play well in one of those, that could light up 2024," he added.

Block played at Farmers Insurance and American Express in 2023 but failed to make the cut. At the American Express, he scored 7-under par 209 after three rounds of 65, 71, and 73 and shot 74 and 73 at the Farmers Insurance Open.
