Scottie Scheffler: American world number one misses another PGA Tour event with Christmas dinner injury
Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from a PGA Tour event in California next week to continue his rehabilitation from the hand injury he sustained preparing Christmas dinner.
The world number one said in a story on his Instagram, external account he will skip The American Express tournament in La Quinta from 16 to 18 January to “give my injury more time to heal”.
Scheffler required surgery on the palm of his right hand over the festive period after he suffered a puncture wound from broken glass.
The 28-year-old American has already missed the opening tournament of the campaign at The Sentry last week and will also sit out this week’s Sony Open in Hawaii.
He has now targeted the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which starts on 30 January, for his comeback.
Scheffler won nine titles last year including the Masters and the gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
