CONGRATULATIONS TO MAVERICK FOR HIS WIN AT THE RSM CLASSIC ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2024!

About Maverick

Maverick McNealy is a 28 year old professional golfer, playing his 7th season on the PGA Tour. Maverick was a former San Jose Junior Sharks hockey player through high school, where he attended the Harker School in San Jose, California. He is the oldest of 4 brothers and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 20 weeks a year he is home!!

In 2013, Maverick decided that smashing drives was a better path than getting smashed into the boards on the ice rink, and earned a spot as an unranked junior golfer on the Stanford Men’s Golf team. Maybe Coach Ray had a soft spot for other hockey players, because Maverick only received one other Division 1 offer to play before Stanford! In four years, he earned a B.S. in Management Science and Engineering and eleven collegiate victories, tying a program record…

Maverick’s Next Goal is Another $1M

The Impact of Your Generous Contributions

I couldn’t be more excited to be starting my 7th season on the PGA Tour. 

My goal this season is 400 birdies! I made 464 last season.

Making a difference in education is something the Curriki team and I are very passionate about, and we wouldn’t be able to make this impact without all of your generous contributions of all sizes.

 Maverick’s Road Ahead

Texas Children's Houston Open

March 24-30, 2025

Houston, TX

This is a Premier Event for Maverick 

The Houston Open has been played at several Houston venues over 78 years. Memorial Park Municipal Golf Course hosted The Houston Open from 1951-1963, and it returned in 2020 after a Brooks Koepka and Jim Crane inspired renovation. The Par-70, 7,432-yard course is Texas’s top-rated municipal golf course. One of the more interesting and challenging–and loudest holes–in golf is #15. This short Par-3, with a false front on the right side, a creek short and left, has a difficult narrow green to land on with not much area for a safe miss. 
 
 
 
 

Valero Texas Open

March 31-April 6, 2025
San Antonio, TX 
Maverick’s 2024 Finish: T58 
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: T35
 
The Texas Open has always been played in the San Antonio area, and is the sixth oldest professional golf tournament worldwide, the third oldest on the PGA Tour, and the longest held in the same city. The 7,435-yard, Par-72 TPC San Antonio, Oaks Course will host the Texas Open. It was designed by Greg Norman and player consultant Sergio Garcia. The closing stretch is genuine TPC, though, with a drivable par-4 17th hole and a par-5 18th hole that offers tremendous risk-reward opportunity. One of the signature holes is the par-3 16th, which features a massive bunker in the middle of the green.

The Masters Tournament

April 7-13, 2025 

Augusta, GA

This is a premier event for Maverick!
 
The first “Augusta National Invitation Tournament”, as the Masters was originally known, began on March 22, 1934. The present name was adopted in 1939. Augusta National  (Par-72, 7,475-yards) first opened 92 years ago in 1933 and has been modified many times by different architects. Augusta National’s most famous stretch of holes, known as “Amen Corner,” consists of holes 11, 12, and 13, with the 12th hole, a par-3, often considered the signature hole due to its iconic beauty and challenging nature. #12 is the shortest Par-3 at Augusta, (155-yards), where golfers must avoid Rae’s Creek and 3 strategically-placed bunkers. 
 
Among the many traditions, the winner of the tournament is presented with a distinctive green jacket. The green sport coat is the official attire worn by members of Augusta National while on the club grounds; each Masters winner becomes an honorary member of the club. Winners keep their jacket for the year after their victory, then return it to the club to wear whenever they are present on the club grounds.
 
 
Due to the ongoing natural disaster in Greater Los Angeles, and out of respect for those affected, the Genesis Invitational will be contested on the South Course at Torrey Pines Golf Course.
 

The Par-72, 7,765 yard host course is named for the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only along the San Diego and Santa Rosa Island coasts. One of the signature holes on the South Course is the Par-3, 200-yard #3, one of the shortest and hardest of Par 3’s. It has an elevated tee shot towards a green that has a ravine to the left and the Pacific Ocean long.

Maverick’s 2024 Finish: T37
Maverick’s 2023 Finish: T31
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: 22
Maverick’s 2020 Finish: 15

Originally known as the San Diego Open, the host course, Torrey Pines, is named for the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only along the San Diego and Santa Rosa Island coasts.
The tournament uses both the North and South Courses for the first two rounds, and the South Course for the final two rounds.

North Course: Par-72 / 7,258 Yards
One of the signature holes on the North Course is the Par-3 #15, which offers players a spectacular view of La Jolla and the Pacific Ocean. Playing downhill this beautiful hole is protected by a bunker in front of a steeply back to front sloped green.

South Course: Par-72 / 7,765 Yards
One of the signature holes on the South Course is #3, one of the shortest and hardest of Par 3’s. It has an elevated tee shot towards a green that has a ravine to the left and the Pacific Ocean long.

The State of Education

Making a difference in education is something the Curriki team and I are very passionate about, and we wouldn’t be able to make this impact without all of your generous contributions of all sizes. I couldn’t be more excited to get going in 2025!

A few of the amazing things Curriki has done this year are: built an interactive video player so students can engage with videos instead of passively watching them, helped build easier-to-use authoring tools for teachers with ready-made layouts and templates, and launched several partners such as Katy ISD, Baylor University, and First Tee!
