“The Block Party continues” – Fans react to Michael Block’s decision to hike 100 holes at Pebble Beach in support of Youth on Course

Michael Block has announced that he is teaming up with Youth on Course and TaylorMade Golf for the 100-hole hike event at Pebble Beach. The money raised in the event will be donated to the Youth on Course, a charitable organization that provides reasonable access to emerging young golfers by subsidizing the rounds across many golf courses.

Block rose to prominence following his T15 finish at the 2023 PGA Championship, earning him the Low Club Professional trophy for his 1-over performance at the Oak Hill Country Club. However, he couldn't repeat his performance at the Charles Schwab Challenge and the RBC Canadian Open and failed to make a cut in both events.

The 47-year-old club professional took to his official Instagram account on Tuesday, October 23, to announce the details of his participation at the Youth on Course's event at Pebble Beach.

"Access to golf can turn dreams to realities, I’m living proof," he wrote.

The event is scheduled to take place on Monday, November 13. The other details, including television coverage, are yet to be announced.

Fans on social media were thrilled to see their favorite star participating in a goodwill event. Here's how fans reacted to the announcement:
