On February 18, 2025, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso led the New York Golf Club into the TGL arena, contributing to their first-ever victory against Jupiter Links Golf Club. The match took place at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where Alonso's enthusiastic presence, marked by a fist-bumping ritual and the hit song "Narco," seemed to inspire the team. Rickie Fowler expressed satisfaction with their performance, indicating a positive shift from previous matches. The event also saw notable appearances, including Hall of Fame inductee CC Sabathia, highlighting the blend of sports culture between golf and baseball.
"We did what we wanted to do coming out. We wanted to get out to a better start than we have and get ahead. That's a lot more fun than the last two matches in here, for sure."
"Alonso hyped up the New York Golf Club on the entire walk out into the arena before he fist-bumped each of the players."
