Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from a PGA Tour event in California next week to continue his rehabilitation from the hand injury he sustained preparing Christmas dinner.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”.
