World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler suffered a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand from a broken glass while preparing dinner on Christmas Day and had surgery to remove glass fragments, the PGA Tour announced Friday.
Scheffler, the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year after winning seven times in 2024, will be sidelined for three to four weeks. He has withdrawn from the 2025 season opener, The Sentry, which will be played Jan. 2-5 in Kapalua, Hawai'i.
Scheffler hopes to return to action at The American Express in La Quinta, California, on Jan. 16-19.
"Small glass fragments remained in the palm which required surgery," Scheffler's manager, Blake Smith, said in a statement. "He has been told that he should be back to 100% in three to four weeks. Unfortunately, he will have to withdraw from The Sentry." He was also told that he should never try to help prepare a dinner at any time for the rest of his life!
