Michael Block was disqualified Sunday from a Staysure Legends Tour event in Aberdeen, Scotland, after he walked off the course 12 holes into his final round of the PGA Seniors Championship.
According to the tour, which is the DP World Tour's equivalent to the PGA Tour Champions, the 50-year-old Block "left the course before completing his round and without completing the necessary process of advising Tour officials of any injury or illness."
Block, who was competing on a sponsor exemption, was also penalized two strokes for arriving late to his final-round tee time, the tour confirmed.
Monday Q Info's Ryan French first reported that Block, who went out in 7-over 43 at Trump International Golf Links, bogeyed the 12th hole and then "walked off the course." French added, citing multiple unnamed sources, that Block "didn't say anything to his playing partners" and that Block "was frustrated with the course conditions."
Block, though refuted some specifics of that report, explaining to Golf Digest's Evin Priest through text messages that he withdrew because of a left-wrist injury and did communicate his reasoning with his playing competitors, Paul Streeter and James Kingston.
