ABOUT MAVERICK

I was born November 7, 1995 in Stanford, California, the oldest of four brothers (Dakota, Colt, and Scout). We all played ice hockey for the San Jose Jr. Sharks and competitive amateur golf.

I attended Stanford University from 2013-2017, earning a degree in Management Science and Engineering. While at Stanford, I set the school record for career scoring average (70.13), tied the school record for the number of individual wins (11), and spent 47 weeks as the world’s top-ranked amateur golfer. I also won the Fred Haskins, Ben Hogan, and Jack Nicklaus awards as collegiate player of the year, the Mark McCormack Medal as the world’s #1 amateur and the Byron Nelson award for golf, academics, and community service.

In 2017 I made my professional debut at the Safeway Open. I earned my PGA Tour card on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2019, and made three top-10s on the 2019-2020 PGA Tour season en route to finishing 68th in the FedEx Cup standings.

Birdies Season 4:
The Farmers Insurance Open

January 24-29, 2022, San Diego/La Jolla, CA
Due to a crowded sports weekend, play at Torrey Pines will be shifted to Wednesday through Saturday. Each golfer will play one of four rounds on the North Course.

North Course: Par-72 / 7,698 Yards
One of the signature holes on the North Course is #16. The uphill Par-4 has the ocean and cliff all along the left side. This hole used to be on the front 9 until they flipped the nine’s during the 2016 Tom Weiskopf renovation.

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 31-February 6, 2022, Pebble Beach, CA

The AT&T was originally known as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur, or just the Cosby Clambake, is played on 3 courses.

Pebble Beach Golf Links (Par-72, 6,233 yards)
Spyglass Hill Golf Course (Par-72, 7,035 yards)
Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Par-71, 6,958 yards)

The starting field consists of 156 professionals paired with 156 amateurs. On the 1st 3 days each 2-man team plays a better ball format with one round on each of the 3 courses. The pros also play an individual stroke play format. On the final day, those professionals and pro-am teams making the 54-hole cut will play on the Pebble Beach Golf Links.

Waste Management Phoenix Open

February 7-13, 2022, Scottsdale, AZ
The Phoenix Open, known before as the Arizona Open and the FBR Open, is hosted by the 7,216-yard, Par-71 TPC Scottsdale, 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.

JOIN ME AS WE ADVANCE 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 2022!

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!

ABOUT BIRDIES FOR EDUCATION

Making a Difference in Education One Putt at a Time.

Birdies for Education was created in 2019 by PGA TOUR player Maverick McNealy to raise funds for education non-profit, Curriki.org.

Giving back. It’s what drives me to play my best game every time. Every kid deserves a solid, high-quality education and my fundraising campaign supports Curriki.org, a non-profit organization that is completely focused on making sure kids have opportunity to go anywhere and do anything they want in life. Even the PGA Tour.
