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

Genesis Invitational

February 10-16, 2025                               San Diego / La Jolla, CA

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.

Mexico Open at Vidanta

February 17-23, 2025
Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico
Maverick’s 2024 Finish: T13
 
The Mexico Open was first established in 1944 as the national championship of Mexico, the Mexican Golf Open. The Vidanta Vallarta Resort, Par-71, 7,456-yard Norman Signature Golf Course hosts this event, with its unsurpassed course conditioning and wall-to-wall paspalum playing surfaces (frequently used on coastal courses and is known for its “stickiness”). It is isolated on its own little plot of unspoiled tropical serenity with no housing or commercial developments in sight. Just to get to the course players have to cross the Ameca River on the world’s longest golf cart suspension bridge.The layout winds along the Ameca River, providing views of the Sierra Madres from every hole. One of the signature holes at Vidanta is the Par-4, 297-yard #7, with water on the left and sand traps on the right.

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!
