Rory McIlroy was beaten by PGA Tour star who is heir to $950M fortune and flies own plane

Maverick McNealy is heir to a stunning $950M fortune

Maverick McNealy certainly made an entrance at the Genesis Invitational, arriving in style via private jet before agonizingly missing out on clinching his second PGA Tour victory over the weekend.

The American golfer fired off a stunning 64 in the final round to end up 11-under par, yet finished just one stroke shy of winner Ludvig Aberg, with the Swedish sensation nailing birdies on four of the last six holes to post a 66 and leave McNealy lamenting a costly bogey on the 14th.

The 29-year-old missed out on a whopping $4 million prize as a result, but it’s unlikely to keep him up at night. After all, McNealy stands to inherit a fortune estimated at $945M, thanks to his dad Scott, who co-founded tech behemoth Sun Microsystems.

When Oracle snapped up the company in 2010 for a cool $7.3 billion, the McNealy family’s wealth skyrocketed, making Maverick richer than almost any other golfer on the planet, with Tiger Woods being the sole exception thanks to accumulating his own $1.3 billion fortune.

At Torrey Pines, McNealy showed he could hang with the best, finishing ahead of world-class players like current No.1 Scottie Scheffler, who was two shots back and tied for third. Rory McIlroy ended up in a disappointing tie for 17th place after carding a final round 72, leaving him three-under par.

Reflecting on his performance, McNealy said: “Second is more than I could have asked for to start the day,” adding, “It was one of those things where I got on a roll early and there were some gettable flags.

“When you get on a roll you just don’t want to get off it and I tried to keep it going as long as possible. I had a few poor shots and an unlucky break or two at the end but definitely had a few things go my way early in this round.”

He was quick to acknowledge Aberg’s impressive performance, saying: “It was just a ton of fun to be up there, to have a chance. Ludvig played awesome.”

McNealy, basking in the afterglow of his initial tour victory at the RSM Classic last November, also embraced his flashy arrival without remorse and hinted at making it a regular spectacle. “It was a really fun way to get here,” he commented.

Emphasising the uniqueness of his journey on the PGA Tour, McNealy revealed his intentions of embracing this mode of travel more often, especially to enjoy the perks of better practice conditions.

“Kind of unique for me on the PGA Tour. I’m going to use it a ton to get to La Quinta for better weather practice and up north to Tahoe in the summer when it gets too hot in Las Vegas.”
