Maverick McNeely is already one of the richest golfers in the world thanks to his father’s wealth while also being one of the top players in the game on the PGA Tour. Maverick McNeely is making waves both on and off the PGA Tour. But he’s not ready to rest on his laurels just yet. Thanks to his billionaire father, Scott McNeely, Maverick ranks as one of the world’s wealthiest golfers. But the 29-year-old isn’t just riding on his family’s coattails. He’s carving out his own successful path. McNeely is in contention to win the BMW Championship, which boasts a $20 million prize fund. The winner will take home $3.6 million with the runnerup getting $2.16 million. At the time of writing, McNeely is 11 under par for the tournament, just two shots behind leader Scotty Sheffller. Bob McIntyre, 12 under par, Sam Burns, 11 under par, and Tommy Fleetwood, 11 under par, are also hovering near the top of the leaderboard. In recent times, McNeely has more than justified his high leaderboard position with a string of impressive performances. Earlier this year, in February, he clinched second place at the Genesis Invitational, followed by a tie for third at the Bolero Texas Open two months later. He then achieved top five finishes at the RBC Heritage and the Memorial. Despite these flashes of brilliance, McNeely insists there’s still plenty of room for improvement in his game. Speaking to reporters after the third round of the RBC Heritage earlier this year, he modestly referred to himself as the worst player in the OWGR top 10. That was a really cool one because my entire career I’ve held the top 10 players as my benchmark of what do I need to do to improve. McNeely shared at the time, “What are the top 10 guys doing that I’m not? How do I work on my game? What areas of my game need improvement to get there?
