The unique event and tournament emceed by Bally’s Golf Links at Ferry Point General Manager, Brian Crowell, PGA featured McNeil, alongside Mets teammate and first baseman, Pete Alonso, former Met greats, Tim Teufel and Gary Valentine, and comedian Chris Roach, for a wonderful evening of golf and giving back to those underserved.

Our guests and donors in attendance also had the opportunity to bid on over 40 exclusive and valuable items on display at the silent auction.
“It was a great night. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for quite some time now. I’m glad to partner with the Met PGA Foundation for what ended up being a great night of fun and raising money for those underserved by the game.” Golf has been a pretty big part of my life so it’s super cool to see what this night has turned in to.” – Jeff McNeil
