Maverick McNealy - Golf News, Rumors, & Updates

Fifth in SG: Putting at Doral McNealy fired a five-under 67 on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship to finish five-under and tied for 30th.

Impact McNealy played holes 12-16 in a collective five-under-par during Sunday's final round at Doral, highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 16th where he striped a 324-yard drive to just four feet. He ended the Signature Event ranked first among the field in total feet of putts made and fifth in SG: Putting, racking up 21 total par-breakers across 72 holes in the process. However, McNealy lost a season-worst 4.55 strokes from tee to green in Miami. He'll be in attendance again this week for the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow, where he tied for 33rd at last year's PGA Championship.

Overcomes poor first round McNealy finished tied for 16th at the RBC Heritgage after posting a nine-under cumulative score.

Impact McNealy opened the tournament with a three-over 74 score Thursday, but he steadily rose up the leaderboard by carding four-under 67 scores in each of the last three rounds of the tournament. His putting game helped him tremendously at Harbour Town, as he gained 5.89 strokes on the green (third best in the field) while also ranking 16th in SG: Off-the-Tee. However, McNealy was one of the worst approach players in the field, losing 6.46 strokes to rank 80th out of the 82-man field in SG: Approach. The American has just one top-10 performance to his name this season (the Farmers Insurance Open), though he does have seven top-25s in seven of 10 events so far in 2026. McNealy will not participate in next week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Struggles in final group McNealy struggled to a one-over 72 in the final round of the WM Phoenix Open to fall into a tie for 13th place.

Impact McNealy had a tee time in the final group on Sunday after opening the week going 67-69-65, but he did not have the showing he wanted to as he was going after PGA Tour win No. 2. McNealy made four bogeys on the front-nine to go along with two birdies and then was only able to manage a one-under-par back-nine. McNealy was 67th of the 73 players that made the cut on Sunday in SG: Putting. It's still been a solid start to the season going T24-10th-T13. McNealy will look to hit up the flat stick next week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
