The PGA Championship fairytale of club pro Michael Block.

Michael Block, a 46-year-old club pro who teaches golf lessons at a public course in California, is set for a potentially life-changing payout after making the cut and finishing tied for eighth at the PGA Championship. No PGA Professional has ever finished inside the top 10 in the 105-year history of the tournament. Block's biggest cash-in to date is $75,000, but he stands to earn $545,000 if he remains in eighth place at the end of play.

He is the only one of the 20 club professionals to make the cut and could become the first club pro in the modern era to win the PGA Championship.
