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…

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

PGA Championship

May 13-19, 2024

Louisville, KY

The PGA Championship is being hosted this year by the Jack Nicklaus designed Par-70, 7,394 -yard, Valhalla Golf Club. The first PGA Championship was held in October 1916. It has normally been played in the eastern half of the United States except eleven times, most recently in 2020 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. The front nine is more open than the tree-lined back nine. The signature hole is the Par-3, 355-year 13th. It gains its status due to the island green that is supported by a wall of rocks and surrounded by water.

Charles Schwab Challenge

May 20-26, 2024

Fort Worth, TX

Maverick’s 2023 Finish: T52

Maverick’s 2021 Finish: T20

Maverick’s 2020 Finish: T32

The tournament was founded 78 years ago in 1946 and honors the history of golf by using an official Scottish tartan plaid jacket for its champions and top committee chairmen. It is the longest running non-major tour event held at the same site. Colonial Country Club was founded in 1936 by Marvin Leonard chiefly out of a desire to introduce Bentgrass greens to the area. The par-70, 7,209-yard course was designed by John Bredemus of Texas and Perry Maxwell of Oklahoma. One of Colonial’s signature holes is the water-guarded 13th, where nothing but water stands between the tee box and the triangular green–the lake slants in from the right, and two bunkers guard the left side of the putting surface.

RBC Canadian Open

May 27-June 2, 2024

Ancaster, Ontario, Canada

The RBC Canadian Open is the third oldest continuously running tournament on the tour, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. Hosted by the Par-70, 7,079-yard Hamilton Golf and Country Club, it has been long regarded as one of the top golf courses in Canada. Renowned English golf architect Harry Colt designed 18 of the current 27 holes in 1914, with Canadian golf architect Robbie Robinson adding a third nine in 1974. The Club has hosted six Canadian Opens, the last being in June 2019. One of the signature holes is the Par-4, 457-yard 9th. The tee shot plays downhill to the lowest part of the fairway where a creek crosses across it. The approach shot plays from a slightly downhill lie to an elevated green site that sits in an amphitheater setting.

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!
