During a press conference held after Round 2 of The Sentry at the Plantation Course, McNealy was questioned about his plans for Augusta. The 1-time PGA Tour winner expressed his desire to sneak in a practice session at the iconic golf course ahead of the 2025 Masters.

"I'll probably see if I can sneak in a practice round the Monday after THE PLAYERS. I haven't set that up yet. Honestly, just trying to treat it like any other week. It's not, it's the Masters. But I feel like I'm playing pretty good most weeks right now, so if I just take that into -- I feel like the game I have right now travels to any kind of golf course, which is exciting, so this is the first time," Maverick McNealy said.

Further at the press conference, Maverick McNealy mentioned it felt "awesome" getting the invitation to play at The Masters 2025.
