MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN EDUCATION

One Birdie at a time.

Maverick is donating $100 for every birdie he makes this season.

About Maverick

Maverick McNealy is a 28 year old professional golfer, playing his fourth 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 get going in 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

Valspar Championship

March 18-24, 2024,
Palm Harbor, FL
 
Maverick’s 2023 Finish: T36
 
The Valspar was founded in 2000 as the Tampa Bay Classic, and is hosted by the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort. The par-71, 7,340-yard course was designed by Larry Packard and opened in 1974. Striking in both beauty and challenge, the pine tree-lined fairways and rolling terrain define the course, and the surrounding lakes and ponds present water hazards that are also home to abundant wildlife including fox squirrels, bald eagles, alligators, blue herons, and many other types of waterfowl. The Par-5, 590-yard,14th Hole is Copperhead’s most famous hole–a double dogleg, and the last par five on the course. The initial dogleg takes the hole to the left and is heavily protected on the inside corner with trees. After the hole turns back to the right, players are faced with an approach shot to a slightly elevated green that features heavy bunkering left of the putting surface and a water hazard short right.

Texas Children's Hospital Houston Open

March 25-31, 2024
Houston, TX
 
Maverick’s 2019 Finish: 17 
Maverick’s 2020 Finish: T20
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: T19
 
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-72, 7,292-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, and a creek short and left, has a difficult narrow green to land on with not much area for a safe miss.

Valero Texas Open

April 1-7, 2024
San Antonio, TX 
 
Maverick’s 2022 Finish: T35
 
The Texas Open has always been played (122 years) 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. The signature hole is the par-3 16th, which features a Riviera-esque bunker in the middle of the green.

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!
