Michael Block joins The Dan Evans Show on Sports Illustrated for a raw, hilarious, and genuinely inspiring look at what happens when a lifelong club pro suddenly becomes must-see TV. Block takes us behind the scenes of the moment the golf world learned his name — the 2023 PGA Championship run at Oak Hill, including the hole-in-one alongside Rory McIlroy and a top-15 finish that flipped his life overnight.In this interview, Block breaks down the real club pro grind (teaching, payroll, running a busy facility) and how surreal it is to jump from that routine into Tour events, walk-and-talk broadcasts, and getting paired with the biggest stars in the sport. He opens up about his late-start path to competitive golf, why he wasn’t recruited, how one amateur win changed everything, and why he chose a career in the PGA professional world instead of chasing mini-tours.Block also tells the full story of when the pressure finally hit at Oak Hill — seeing his name high on the leaderboard, “starting to choke,” and then pulling off the bunker shot that gave him chills and helped launch the entire fairytale. And yes… we get into the wild part too: the famous-contacts name drops, what fame feels like when you still have to take out the trash, and the mantra (“Why not?”) that’s powered his biggest moments.This is a must-watch for golfers who love underdog stories, behind-the-ropes reality, and honest talk about pressure — from a guy who’s still a teacher at heart, even when the whole sport is screaming his name.Presented by: Sports Illustrated

Tiger’s birthday bash was absurd — and Episode 78 of The Dan Evans Show is basically the aftermath.We start with the charity flex heard ‘round the golf world: the night raised $50M for the TGR Foundation, including a $20M drop from Arthur Blank. Then we get into the wildest detail from the party: every guest walked out with a custom Tiger Woods trading card (Upper Deck, art by Jim Lee, autographed by Tiger, limited to 415).From there it’s pure golf chaos and storylines: Chris Gotterup’s quietly-insane three-season win streak, Grant Horvat jumping into a PGA TOUR event at PGA West, Rory + Shane Lowry giving away the Dubai Invitational on the 18th, and LIV’s off-course soap opera — from the 4Aces’ sponsor pile-up to DJ being “thankful” his team’s getting quieter.And yes… we pull the tape on Bryson’s EXIT sign post explanation — and it’s exactly as “non-answer” as you’d expect. Plus: Full Swing Season 4 is coming in April, and we’re already predicting the chaos they better have captured.If you want the stuff fans actually talk about — money, vibes, weird quotes, and golf-world momentum swings — this is the episode.
