Michael Block sells his 2023 PGA Championship 7-iron for a classic car
Summary

Michael Block, a club professional now competing on the PGA Tour Champions, has sold the TaylorMade TP MC 7-iron he used to record a hole-in-one at the 2023 PGA Championship. Block, who serves as a professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club, confirmed that the proceeds from the sale were used to fund the purchase of a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback Restomod. The vehicle features a custom license plate reading "SVNIRON" to commemorate the shot hit at Oak Hill Country Club during his high-profile pairing with Rory McIlroy. While many professional athletes preserve iconic equipment, Block stated that liquidating the club provided practical financial benefits. He continues to manage operational expenses at his home club while maintaining his tournament schedule. Block is set to drive the vehicle to his upcoming event on the Champions Tour.
