There is a rumor going viral on the internet that Michael Block has received a special invite to the Masters 2024 at Augusta National Golf Club. The Nevada-born golfer is best known for his phenomenal performance in the 2023 PGA Championship. He became the first club professional to cut at the prestigious major tournament and later finished on T15 rank on the leaderboard.
NUCLR GOLF, a popular golf update page, shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) that stated that Block has accepted a special invite to play this year’s Masters Tournament. However, it is not at all true. The post was shared on April 1 and the date of the year is known for fooling people.

Well, Michael Block is truly a special player. After all, finishing T15 at a major tournament at the age of 46 and being a club professional is a great thing. Although this was an April Fool’s Day prank he received a special invite to play at the Masters 2024, it would have really been great if this was true news.
