The names etched in the golf’s history books have had the golfing world move at their fingertips. The fan fervor, the game enthusiasm, and the player admiration have always played a big part in the sport’s realm. With changing role models, it is easy to forget about the GOATs of the game, but it seems that golf fans are well-versed in their history, be it the present or the past.
However, recently, despite the presence of golf legend Tiger Woods, who recently resurged in the golf realm, and emerging talent Max Homa, the fans were focusing on someone else. Who is it that had the fanatics’ square attention?

Golf reporter Claire Rogers recently took to Twitter to post the golf world’s new sensational picture featuring Tiger Woods, Max Homa, and golf hero Michael Block, the man who went on a dream run in the year’s PGA Championship.
Block, the 46-year-old American pro, made waves after making the cut and finishing in the top 15 at the 2023 PGA Championship. He is seen as one of the new GOATs of the golfing world, known for competing in club professional events and regional tournaments. He is also known for his work as a golf instructor in PGA America, helping golfers improve their skills and techniques.
In the picture, the three golfers are standing next to each other on the greens. Block has one arm over Homa’s shoulder, who stands to his right, and the other over Woods, who stands to his left and is seen holding his gloves and a club.
The caption accompanying the picture took a dig at Woods and Homa. Here’s the tweet:

An interesting but not unusual thought came to a user’s mind while looking at the picture.
Imagine if Blockie gets PIP money based purely on meme value.

A fan was simply interested not in the picture but in Homa’s pants.
