Grant Horvat and Michael Block are two golfers who are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the ways in which they apply their craft.
Block is a teaching professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, while Horvat is one of the biggest star names on the YouTube content creation scene.
However, their two worlds crossed over in one of Horvat’s latest videos.
Earlier this year, Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros launched ‘Your Golf Tour’ – a new competitive golf circuit featuring some of the world’s most famous content creators.
And Michael Block got a taster of how the content creators operate in the opening Your Golf Tour event.
Michael Block shown in a bad light on Grant Horvat’s YouTube video
During the latest YGT video posted to the Bryan Bros Golf YouTube channel, Michael Block made an appearance.
However, huge controversy was caused in the aftermath of the competition.
During the final 20 seconds of the video, Block was heard shouting expletives after he was forced to head home after playing just nine holes.
Many criticized Horvat and co for leaving that segment in at the end of the video.
And Horvat took to X on Sunday to issue an apology to the 50-year-old.
Grant Horvat’s apology to Michael Block
“After reflecting on the Michael Block situation at the end of part 2, myself and the team at YGT want to apologize,” Horvat began.
“Our intention was to show the raw emotion of what the YGT means, and how badly the participants want to perform well.
“Michael Block showed great leadership and brought a ton of team positivity, and we feel like that was highlighted throughout the entire video.
“Ultimately, we made a mistake by leaving the last segment in the video. For that, we apologize to Michael Block and anyone who did not find the clip tasteful or necessary.
“We do not want to garnish attention through drama and controversy, but through high quality golf. We are thankful for everyone’s commitment and participation on the YGT and they deserve to be portrayed in a more positive light.“
Leaving the final segment in really was a poor move from Horvat and co.
It’s great that he apolgized in the end, but the decision to show Block in a bad light at the end of the video was a strange one to say the least.
