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

About Maverick

Maverick McNealy is a 29 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 playing in 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

Genesis Scottish Open

July 7-13, 2025 
North Berwick, Scotland, UK 
 
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: T-16 
 
Renaissance Club is situated beside the historic village of Dirleton, three miles from North Berwick, and a forty minutes drive from Edinburgh. Though the club’s course was designed by American architect Tom Doak, opened in April 2008, and significantly revised in 2014, it is not an American-influenced course in Scotland, but a tribute to Scottish golf that was created by Americans. The club’s site was unusual because it featured 300 acres of pine trees, which required 8,500 tons of wood to be cleared. One of the signature holes is the 204-yard #9, a beautiful uphill par-3 that plays northeasterly with the North Sea setting the background. The walk up to the green where the North Sea and Fidra Island come into view is breathtaking. 

The (British) Open Championship

July 14-20, 2025 
County Antrim, Northern Ireland 
 
Founded in 1860, The Open Championship is the oldest golf tournament in the world, and one of the most prestigious. The winner is named “the Champion Golfer of the Year”. The Open is always played on a coastal links golf course. The terrain is open, often without any trees, and primarily shaped by nature, rather than ‘built’. Hosted this year by Royal Portrush Golf Club’s Dunluce LInks, and it is considered to be one of the best courses in the world. 
The Royal Portrush Golf Club was founded 137 years ago in 1888. One of the signature holes is the par-4, 382-yard #5. It is a relatively short downhill par four with a dogleg to the right. It has no bunkers but a heavily undulating green perched on the edge of a large drop down to the beach and has views across the White Rocks beach, and the Dunluce Castle. 

3M Open

July 21-27, 2025
Blaine, MN 
 
Maverick’s 2021 Finish: T-16
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: T-49
Maverick’s 2024 Finish: T3 
 
The 3M Open will be hosted by TPC Twin Cities. The Par-72, 7,164-yard course was designed by Arnold Palmer in consultation with Tom Lehman. The course features 235 acres of breathtaking countryside with immaculate fairways and white sand bunkers. One of the signature holes is the Par-5, 596-yard #18. After the 2018 Championship, the 18th hole had a dramatic change. It went from a 500-yard par 5 with a 100-yard wide fairway to a 596-yard par 5 with a 35-yard wide fairway bordered by a pond that diagonals towards the centerline of the tee shot.

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!
