Following his victory, Penge discussed his plans to move to the United States and compete on the PGA Tour in an interview with Ten Golf. He said he was looking forward to playing against the “best players” in the world and win “national opening.“He said:
“I love playing golf and I would play every week if my team would let me. So yeah, I want to play against the best players in the world and I want to play National Opens like this. When you win a few National Opens, it’s something I’ll never forget and something my family will never forget. So that’s my plan.”
Flushing It Golf shared an article about Marco Penge on his X account (formerly Twitter) with a caption:

“It’s refreshing to hear a very talented young golfer has ambition, wants to improve and play golf competitively instead of looking for easy money. Well done Marco Penge,” another fan added.
