Scottie Scheffler's Return to PGA Tour Delayed After Unusual Hand Injury

The World No. 1 golfer injured his hand during a Christmas cooking mishap, requiring surgery and raising questions about his upcoming participation in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Scottie Scheffler sustained a puncture wound to his right hand on Christmas Day while making homemade ravioli, necessitating surgery to remove glass fragments.
The injury has forced Scheffler to withdraw from the PGA Tour's season-opening events, including The Sentry, The American Express, and the Farmers Insurance Open.
Scheffler has not yet confirmed if he will compete in next week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with a decision expected by Friday's entry deadline.
Despite the setback, Scheffler has resumed workouts and reflected on past performances to stay mentally engaged with the game during recovery.
The absence of top players like Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, who is dealing with a rib injury, has contributed to a slow start for the 2025 PGA Tour season.
