WATCH: PGA Tour star flies from Scottsdale to San Diego for the Genesis Invitational

Maverick McNealy is currently in action at the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, San Diego. Last week he finished T9 at the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.

While many golfers travelled from Scottsdale to San Diego for the Genesis Invitational, McNealy certainly had a different way to do that. The PGA Tour star flew a small plane.

He posted a reel of his journey on his Instagram. The golfer wrote:

"🛫 Scottsdale 🛬 San Diego … excited to be back at Torrey Pines for the Genesis Invitational this week!"

The ace golfer is the son of Scott McNealy, known for being the co-founder and CEO of Sun Microsystems. Started in the 1980s with fellow Stanford graduates, Sun Microsystems was one of the many successful start-ups that took Silicon Valley by storm in that time period.

Fast forward to 2025, the businessman's son, Maverick McNealy is seen competing with notable names at the PGA Tour events. He displayed a consistent performance at the WM Phoenix Open and is currently playing at the Genesis Invitational.
