“I can’t thank you enough for this opportunity,” Block said in a video posted on the PGA of America and PGA Tour social media outlets. “Someone once told me that Colonial sets up pretty good for an old pro like me.”
“I look forward to transferring my tickets to Fort Worth-Dallas tomorrow and coming to you guys rather than Orange County,” Block continued. “If you could talk to my boss and tell him I won’t be at work next week…I look forward to making that exemption a huge value to your tournament.”
