Maverick McNealy is also looking for a PGA Tour Board seat and a paternity vacation

La Jolla, California -Maverick McNealy deserves a widespread praise for his role on the tour to adapt the Fedex Cup -Point allocation fairer more. Now the member of the Player Advisory Council hopes that in 2025 he can have an even greater influence as chairman (or co-chairman) of the PAC.

Since webb Simpson and Peter Malnati should complete his term as a player leader in the policy board of the tour at the end of this year, McNealy is aimed at a future board position. In addition to Tiger Woods, Patrick Cantlay, Camillo Villegas and Adam Scott in 2026, the two PAC chairs elected by players will be raised to a player director.

“I think it would be a rather consistent year and if there is a time to be on the board, it is now,” he said. “I want what is best for the tour. I love the PGA tour, I love my job, I now have enough experience to understand how things work. I was everything from a newcomer to keep my card to keeping a foretaste of how these larger events work. I now know enough to have the feeling that I can and would like to say my opinion a little, which is best for the approximately 240 members. “

McNealy made a name for himself last season after filling the PAC spot from Greyson Murray last summer. When asked about what the next cause has to fix for himself, McNealy called something unexpected – paternity vacation.

As McNealy tells it, he was sitting on the way to the course at the Bermuda championship last autumn on the back of a shuttle bus near the veteran Pro Lanto Griffin. Griffin, who recently celebrated the birth of his first child, a daughter, could not help but show pictures of his new bundle of joy. McNealy and those around them, however, was also clear that he was torn over it in view of the top 125 of the Fedex Cup rating.

“I could say that it was difficult for him to go back to work,” said McNealy.

Rafa Campos could move into. While Griffin’s daughter was born in a week, Campos’ wife was due during the Bermuda tournament. Family is their priority and it was his first child and he wanted to be there. Just as Griffin had done in front of him, he asked travelers whether he had taken over a minor medical liberation for the Bermuda Championship and RSM Classic, but his application was rejected.

“I was frustrated,” says Campos Golfweek In a telephone interview. “When I decide to miss my last two tournaments, I am outside the top 150 (in the Fedex Cup) and will lose my job. I would literally had what status I had 15 years ago, which was basically nothing. I had to go back to the Q-School and the chance to be downgraded either PGA Tour America or hopefully Korn Ferry Tour. “

The circumstances of Griffin and Campos are a case for a medical liberation, argued McNealy. Campos explained why his options were limited.

“If my wife was due in February at the beginning of the season in February and I had to miss two or three events, that’s okay because I still have a full season to get back or to keep my card.” Campos said. “But in this situation we had to play well in my situation and in many situations. We only had a lot of choice of chances, and we have to play well just to keep a job. So our job and technically speak our life from them Tournaments. “

Campos campaigned in the Bermuda championship on Tuesday so that he could play in the tournament. But after his baby was born and had time to fly to Bermuda, Campos didn’t feel right when she went. He told his wife that he wouldn’t go. In the end he only went after his wife had raised objections. She reminded him that she moved up the date of birth and put her life in danger so that he could have a chance to play.

“Basically, this is the only reason why I decided to play just because it was a victim for her to bring the date up,” said Campos.

Campos and Griffin were cases of all well who ended well as Campos who won the Bermuda Championship Days after the birth of his baby in November for a two-year liberation, and Griffin was the medalist on the Tour Q-School in December to to secure his privileges too. Nevertheless, McNealy, who assumes that he may need such an exception in the future if he and his wife have children, wants to make sure that such a scenario does not occur again.

“The idea is, if you have a child and withdraw from this week to take part in the birth, you may have two or three weeks later to be a father at your family, to support your wife and To enjoy time with your newborn. If you do not keep your card at the end of the season, you will receive the first three or four starts as a medical liberation at the beginning of the new season. Instead of choosing your starts like a typical medical selection, you will receive the Sony Open, The American Express and Farmers Insurance Open, ”he said, with regard to the first three full field events of the new season.

For McNeal it makes sense. He noticed that tour professionals can choose when getting married -November and December are usually a popular season -but it is more difficult to choose when they have children.

“It would be good for the quality of life,” he said. “I’m sure I would appreciate it. I know my wife would appreciate it. She doesn’t want to have the feeling of pulling me away from home and I don’t want me to be somewhere else. If you can only delay this by 2-3 weeks if it is really important to be there to support your wife, a big plus would be without really sacrificing the play options for other players. “
