Overview
- The tournament recorded Block as disqualified after he left the course during the final round without completing the required process to report an injury or illness to officials.
- Block was assessed a two‑stroke penalty for being a few seconds late to his tee time and then opened the round with a 43 on the front nine.
- Block says he tweaked a pre‑existing left‑wrist issue on the 10th hole, told his playing partners he was withdrawing, handed his scorecard to another player, and then left with a non‑official ride back to the clubhouse.
- Monday Q reported that Block walked off without telling partners and was frustrated with course setup, a version that Block has disputed in interviews with Golf Digest and on social media.
- Because Block competed on a sponsor exemption the DQ may affect his reputation and his chances of receiving future invites to senior/Legends events.
