The two things you won't see Michael Block doing anymore (according to Michael Block).

"Blockie" has divided opinion since his coming-out party at Oak Hill in 2023. Some have found his antics endearing or, at the very least, amusing from afar. Others ... well, let's just say they find Block to be a bit much. According to the 50-year-old on Sirius XM's Wagyu & Filet podcast this week, however, he's still learning, especially on the PGA Tour Champions, which has inspired him to cut two signature moves from his repetoire.

"I watched my first Champions Tour appearance at the Dick's [the 2026 Dick's Open], and a couple times I do this like putter drop ... and I'm like 'that's disgusting, I'm not doing that anymore," Block told hosts Johnson Wagner and Brendon de Jong.

"So I haven't done that [since]. And then at the Ally, I'm doing this pointing thing and pointing at the camera. The whole reason for pointing at the camera is like, I'm pointing at my boys who are watching back in Orange County ... then I looked at it from a different point of view, and my dad said never to point at anybody. It's a rude gesture ... so that's a new thing for me now. You won't see me pointing at the cameras anymore."

So will we be getting a new, softer Michael Block going forward? It sounds like somewhat, but here's hoping he doesn't go too far. A little refinement is good and fine, but there are plenty of soulless robots in golf already. Michael Block, for better or worse, is one of a kind.
