BIO
Maverick is the son of a billionaire and was an college prodigy. He was ranked world amateur number one and shares Stanford University's wins record with Tiger Woods and Patrick Rodgers. However, he struggled with his game upon turning pro in 2017 and has spent the last two years on the Korn Ferry Tour trying to earn his PGA Tour card. Maverick began working with renowned coach, Butch Harmon, in 2019 and this allowed him to improve his game and graduate the Korn Ferry Tour with the 23rd card.
It was another solid year for Maverick as he posted three top 10 finishes and moved up the world rankings. He'll be pushing for a win in 2021.
Significant info
Maverick has been in a relationship with LPGA golfer, Danielle Kang since January 2019. Maverick cites the increased short game practice he has undertaken with Danielle and the advice she has been able to impart as a seasoned pro and Major winner as positive influences on his game.
