About Maverick

Maverick McNealy is a 28 year old professional golfer, playing his sixth 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 wrapping up the 2023-2024 Season!

My goal this season is 400 birdies! I made 248 last year.

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

Farmers Insurance Open

San Diego/La Jolla, CA
January 20-26, 2025

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.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

January 27-February 2, 2025, Pebble Beach, CA

Maverick’s 2024 Finish: T39
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: T33
Maverick’s 2021 Finish: 2
Maverick’s 2020 Finish: 5

The AT&T was originally known as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur, or just the Cosby Clambake, and is played on 2 courses. The starting field consists of 80 professionals and 80 amateurs. Each professional is paired with an amateur partner. On the first two days, 80 two-person teams will play a Better ball format with one round on Pebble Beach and the other round at Spyglass Hill. The pros also play an individual stroke play format. On the last two days, only the pros will advance to the third and final rounds held at Pebble Beach.

Pebble Beach Golf Links (Par-72, 6,802 yards)
Spyglass Hill Golf Course (Par-72, 7,026 yards)

One of Pebble Beach’s signature holes is the Par-3, 106-yard #7, and is the shortest on the PGA Tour. It is surrounded on 3 sides by the bay, and there is usually a little wind adding to the challenge.

One of Spyglass’ most famous holes is the Par-4, 370 yard #4 and features a 50 yard deep, skinny green that rests among the sand dunes and ice plant. The fairway continues to tighten before funneling into the putting surface

Waste Management Phoenix Open

February 3-9, 2025, Scottsdale, AZ

Maverick’s 2024 FInish: T6

The Phoenix Open, known before as the Arizona Open and the FBR Open, is hosted by the 7,261-yard, Par-71 TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course, and was designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish in 1986. The event’s relaxed atmosphere, raucous by the standards of professional golf, has earned it the nickname “The Greatest Show on Grass” and is one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour calendar. The signature, and most rowdy hole on the PGA Tour is unquestionably the 16th. A favorite spot among local college kids attending the tournament–up to 20,000 people can find a seat at the fully enclosed par three.

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 2024!

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!
