Brooks Koepka took home his fifth career major over the weekend, but Michael Block stole the PGA Championship show at Oak Hill.
The 46-year-old teaching pro who charges 150 bucks an hour for lessons, hit a slam-dunk hole-in-one at the par-3 15th on Sunday. The hype was enough to earn Block a sponsor exemption into this week's Charles Schwab Challenge.
But out of 81 golfers listed on the odds board for this week's tourney, SportsBetting.ag gave Block the highest number at 350-1. The next-closest competitors are Michael Kim, Harry Hall and Dylan Wu at 200-1.
There are also odds on whether or not Block will win or have a Top 15 finish at the PGA Championship next year, or if he'll win any PGA event before 2025. As you might imagine, Block's odds are LONG.
Finally, below you will find the Top 20 players' odds for the upcoming U.S. Open. Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler, not Koepka, are the early favorites.
