With Mets P Edwin Diaz‘s walkout song “Narco” blaring, Mets 1B Pete Alonso, LF Jeff McNeil and CF Brandon Nimmo “led out” the New York Golf Club team of Rickie Fowler, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Cam Young for their match against Tiger Woods' Jupiter Golf Links in the teams' TGL matchup Tuesday night. Mets owner Steve Cohen -- who owns New York Golf Club -- “was also in the crowd.” It is about an hour drive from the Mets' spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., to Sofi Center on Palm Beach State College’s campus, where TGL is contested. Former MLBer C.C. Sabathia “was also spotted in the crowd” alongside the trio of Mets (Bergen RECORD, 2/18). Alonso “hyped up the New York Golf Club on the entire walk out into the arena before he fist-bumped each of the players” (N.Y. POST, 2/18).
Other attendees last night included USTA CEO Lew Sherr, Dynasty Equity CEO and co-Founder Don Cornwell, Dynasty Equity co-Founder Jonathan Nelson, ESPN Radio’s Evan Cohen, former NFLer Arian Foster, pro surfer Kanoa Igarashi and country singer Jason Aldean (Josh Carpenter, SBJ).
