Maverick McNealy Making First Career Start At Kapalua
2 days agoEarning his spot this week with his victory at the RSM Classic to end 2024, Maverick McNealy will be making his first start at The Sentry. It was one of the better seasons of the 29-year-old's career, with six top 10s and 12 top 25s in 28 starts. He was solid in most facets of his game outside of -0.080 strokes gained on approach, which is worrisome given its overall importance in the professional golf landscape. However, it's still the best finishing position he's had in that metric since joining the tour in 2019. From a professional growth perspective, McNealy is certainly heading in the right direction. But, in a fully-fledged field with most of the PGA Tour's best assets, it's still a "David vs. Goliath" scenario. Proceed with caution this week, even at $9,300 on FanDuel.
