Michael Block, a golfer, recently got into trouble after making comments about Rory McIlroy, but he has now apologized and made it clear that his statements were not intended to be derogatory. Block’s performance in the US PGA Championship in May caught the public’s eye, particularly when he tied for 15th and even shot a hole-in-one while paired with McIlroy.

However, Block’s comparison of his game to McIlroy’s on a podcast drew criticism on social media. Block clarified that his remarks weren’t directed at McIlroy in particular, but rather on the benefit of earning more yardage off the tee, which may perhaps improve his overall performance.

He expressed his admiration for McIlroy’s extraordinary talent while also making it plain that, despite the extra distance, he did not think he could match McIlroy’s level of proficiency. Block emphasized that his goal was to convey that although he might raise his present standing, he couldn’t do it in a manner that would put his skills on par with those of McIlroy.
