Forget Tiger Woods. It's Maverick McNealy, who can claim to be the most wealthy golfer on the PGA Tour.

Californian, 25, is the heir of an incredible PS800m fortune his father, Scott McNealy, left him.

Woods, on the other hand, is estimated to be worth approximately PS700m.

Maverick, who earned PS1.8million over his career, is also in a relationship with American golf star Danielle Kang.

It's not their love that makes the news in golf, but Maverick's dad who is the main focus.

In 2018, Scott put the family home, a PS72million, 20 room Silicon Valley mansion, up for sale.

He found no buyers and slashed the price by PS36million in January 2013.

GOLF OR A BUSINESS?

Maverick was born at Portola Valley in California, where the average income is PS350,000 per year and house prices are some of the highest in America.

Although he grew up playing the game of golf, he didn't intend to become a professional. He hoped to follow his father's business footsteps.

He graduated from Stanford University, America's most prestigious university, in 2018 with a degree both in Management Science and Engineering.

However, he was already keen to join the PGA Tour.

Maverick had shot a 61 three years before in the Pac-12 Conference Championship final round. This tied the 18-hole Stanford record of Tiger Woods and Cameron Wilson.

Maverick is, of course not in it for the money.

Golf Digest was told by him that his father used to tell me that even the most well-funded start ups fail. He said that a small cash runway can light a fire under your back that is hard to replicate.

"I don’t measure my success in golf by how much I’ve earned; I measure it by my effort, dedication and hard work."

DAD MADE A MINT

Scott, Maverick's dad, was an avid golfer.

In 1982, he decided to give up golf and co-founded Sun Microsystems, a computer technology company, with Bill Joy, Vinod Khosla and Andy Bechtolsheim.

He resigned as CEO in 2010 after the company was bought for an astonishing PS5billion.

He made sure Maverick, and his three other sons, understood the importance of money. They were never spoilt.

Maverick stated that: "My brothers, and I, never received an allowance. We were told that after we graduated college, we would have one summer to look for a job, then we'd be free.

"My dad would have made me pay rent to live at my home after school--I'm not kidding!"

RENT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPENSIVE

Maverick could have stayed home and saved a few bucks, as the home was once worth PS72million.

It was a Palo Alto mansion measuring 28,000 square feet. There were 20 rooms on four levels.

The room was 4,700 square feet and featured its own changing area.

It was equipped with an ice rink and a golf course, tennis court, basketball court, tennis court as well as a climbing wall, swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi.

For dinner, you can choose to eat in the "pizza room". You can even make your own pizza in this entire area.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Living in a palace is a dream for many, but Maverick lives in Las Vegas where it's more affordable.

He lives with Danielle Kang (LPGA Tour star), whom he has been dating since 2019.

Kang, who is currently ranked 5th in the world for career earnings, has already earned more than PS4million.

If Maverick is losing, she's not afraid to give her advice.

She actually called him to let him know where he was going after a round 73 in Houston Open 2019.

He shot a 7-under 65 the next day, which included five consecutive birdies.

McNealy will be competing at the USPGA Championship on May 19.
