Maverick McNealy, the 29 year old PGA Tour sensation and heir to a multi-billion-pound fortune, is set to compete in the PGA Championship this weekend, cheered on by his wife. Born into affluence as the son of Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems which sold for a staggering £7.4 billion in 2010, Maverick grew up surrounded by luxury.
A small portion of the family's vast wealth was used to purchase a grand five-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion for him and his three brothers. However, McNealy opted to pursue his love for golf rather than entering the business world, a route that could have potentially earned him millions or even billions with his father's support.
In 2017, he met his wife, Maya, who has since been a steadfast source of support, closely following his golfing career.
Their lives intersected when McNealy visited the physical therapy clinic where Maya was employed in Las Vegas. Six years on, they tied the knot in a ceremony officiated by his brother, Scout McNealy.
McNealy, who also possesses a pilot's license, lauded his wife for her sacrifices, as she often travels to watch his tournaments. When he secured victory at the RSM Classic last year, Maya "knew her job" and immediately phoned McNealy's parents to share the joy of his career achievement, reports the Express.
McNealy has been candid about the significant impact Maya has on his professional life, stating: "Maya knew her job, if it went well today, to get them on the phone as soon as possible walking off 18. I'm the luckiest guy ever. Maya was chatting with me when I was maybe a little bit - being a little bit dramatic but a little bit frustrated."
He recounted a motivating conversation with her, saying, "She said, 'Well, if you knew you were going to win like in six weeks, would you do anything different?'" His subsequent victory proved the point of their discussion, as he confessed, "So six weeks I did get my win. No, I wouldn't have done anything different."
Alongside golf, Maya showed her own golfing prowess by participating in the Par 3 contest at the 2025 Masters with McNealy.
When discussing his leisure activities, Maya gave insight into his aviator ambitions while speaking to the PGA Tour in 2023: "[He's] Watching airplane videos any time he doesn't have a golf club in his hand."
Her admiration for his work ethic came through as she observed, "I don't know how he has the time or the mental patience to get better at both things consistently ... but he's one of the most determined people I know."
She shared an amusing reaction to McNealy's aviation announcement: "I told her, 'By the way, I'm going to start getting my pilot's license, and she looked at me like I had three heads," which only adds to his fans' appreciation of his multifaceted aspirations.
