Away from golf, McNealy is an avid pilot and got his flying license a year ago. He showed off his flying skills in a video for the PGA Tour in October and described the day that he received his credentials as one of the “most rewarding” moments of his life.
He wrote on Instagram: “I’m a pilot!! Still processing it all, but without a doubt one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my life. Luke and Jake, thank you for all you’ve taught me on the ground and in the air – I know it’ll be a lifetime of learning.”
The Management Science and Engineering college graduate and his sponsors are also donating £16 to his dad’s new non-profit organisation, Curriki, for each birdie he makes. The free online education service has been up and running since 2004 and continues to benefit from the family’s estimated £800m net worth.
