PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Scottie Scheffler felt frustrated sitting at home for a quartet of golf tournaments — including two he normally plays — while recovering from glass puncturing the palm of his right hand while making ravioli.
A big part of the world’s top-ranked player was thankful the injury wasn’t worse.
Scheffler went into detail Tuesday about how he injured his hand making Christmas dinner, and how he practiced hard early last week in cold weather back home in Dallas to feel confident he wasn’t returning to the PGA Tour too soon.
He will make his season debut Thursday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the 2025 season’s second $20 million signature event with an 80-man field, including amateur partners for the opening two rounds at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill.
Scheffler played Cypress Point on Monday and Pebble Beach on Tuesday, without a bandage and swinging as freely as ever.
