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

In this episode of The Dan Evans Show, Max Greyserman shares his incredible journey from grinding on mini tours to making a name on the PGA Tour. Max opens up about the ups and downs of chasing his pro golf dream – from battling through a wrist surgery comeback to finally breaking through as a top competitor. He also talks about embracing fatherhood and how having a new baby has changed his outlook on life and golf. It’s a heartfelt conversation packed with inspiration, behind-the-scenes stories, and Max’s insights on staying motivated as he prepares for the 2026 season.

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.

Brooks Koepka is officially headed back to the PGA Tour — and the way it happened is just as chaotic as the return itself. In Episode 77 of The Dan Evans Show, we break down the PGA Tour’s brand-new one-time reinstatement pathway for 2026, why it feels written for specific LIV stars, and why others (most notably Phil Mickelson) are completely shut out.

We explain the eligibility rules, who actually qualifies, and the massive penalties attached — including forfeiting PGA Tour equity money, a required $5 million charitable contribution, no FedEx Cup bonus payouts, and no automatic access to Signature Events. Dan also takes you inside a LIV Golf media event where this news broke in real time, sharing the subtle locker-room vibes and moments you don’t get from social media clips.

From Bryson DeChambeau’s noticeably different energy and ongoing contract negotiations, to Anthony Kim’s unbelievable comeback story after relegation, to Tommy Fleetwood quietly stepping away from Nike — this episode covers one of the most unpredictable weeks in modern golf.

It might be the golf offseason, but this is one of the busiest weeks of the year in the game.

On this episode of The Dan Evans Show, the crew breaks down Tiger Woods’ headline-grabbing 50th birthday gala — a black-tie, invite-only Palm Beach event that feels more like a PGA Tour signature than a party. From celebrity guests and championship-dinner menus to Jon Bon Jovi performing live, this birthday has become a full-blown golf culture moment.

The show also dives into the latest LIV Golf news, including confirmed player signings, declined offers, roster shakeups, and how Tiger Woods’ TGL ties may be influencing player decisions behind the scenes. Plus, the PGA Tour continues to evolve as new rules and formats reshape professional golf.

Later in the episode, golf betting analyst Matt Gannon joins the show to pull back the curtain on how professional sharps actually attack golf betting. Matt explains how course scouting, weather conditions, player tendencies, and subtle setup changes can create real edges against sportsbooks — and how everyday fans can think smarter about golf wagers without chasing long shots.

From TGL strategy and hammer decisions to LIV rumors, Tiger Woods’ cultural influence, and the real math behind golf betting, this episode covers the business, entertainment, and competitive future of the sport — all in one place.

Happy New Year!!!

Tiger Woods turns 50 as the golf world looks back on the GOAT’s legacy, iconic wins, and what a Champions Tour future could hold. The crew also breaks down Brooks Koepka’s exit from LIV Golf and what it means for exemptions, suspensions, and the shifting power structure of pro golf, plus early takeaways from TGL Season 2 and how the league’s changes could shape golf’s future.

Agustín Pizá, founder of Pizá Golf and one of the lead designers behind TGL, joins The Dan Evans Show for a full conversation about how golf is being redesigned from the ground up.

Agustín walks through his journey into golf course architecture, from studying traditional architecture and working in construction to learning from legendary designers and eventually forging his own creative identity. He explains how sustainability, creativity, and necessity shaped his philosophy long before digital golf entered the picture.

The conversation focuses heavily on TGL, where Agustín and his team design holes in a completely digital environment. We discuss what it means to design golf on a true blank canvas, how freedom can be more challenging than constraints, and how risk-reward concepts are reimagined for an indoor league.

Agustín also breaks down how entertainment and competition intersect in TGL, why players must be willing to take creative risks, and how design influences strategy, drama, and fan engagement. This episode is a deep dive into innovation, creativity, and the future of golf.
