Hand Injury During Holiday Pasta Prep
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler revealed an unusual injury over the holidays—one that occurred not on the golf course, but in the kitchen. On Christmas Day, while making homemade ravioli, Scheffler accidentally broke a glass, causing a puncture wound to his right hand that required surgical intervention.
The incident has unfortunately sidelined him from the start of the 2025 golf season, forcing him to withdraw from both the season opener in Hawaii and the American Express tournament in California.
Despite this unexpected twist, Scheffler remains upbeat about his recovery. Recently spotted wearing a brace during workouts, he has shown signs of significant progress. Reflecting on his remarkable 2024 season, which saw him secure an Olympic gold medal, claim seven PGA Tour victories, and earn a third consecutive PGA Tour Player of the Year award, Scheffler is determined to return stronger than ever.
His potential comeback could take place at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, scheduled to begin on January 30, 2025. In the meantime, Scheffler has been staying mentally sharp by reviewing footage of his past performances, drawing inspiration to build on his previous successes.
Fans and fellow players alike are eagerly awaiting his return, hopeful that the mishap won’t deter the golfer from continuing his reign as one of the sport’s most dominant players.
