Scottie Scheffler raring to go at Pebble Beach after surgery on hand injury
Scottie Scheffler, July 16, 2024

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER is set to return from the freak hand injury that delayed the start of his 2025 campaign at this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The world number one was making ravioli on Christmas Day when the wine glass he was using to shape the pasta shattered and cut his hand, with the injury requiring surgery.

He subsequently missed The Sentry and The American Express, but insists he is fully fit for his return in California.

“It’s one of those deals where immediately after it happened I was mad at myself because I was like, ‘Gosh, that’s so stupid.’ But you just don’t think about it when you’re in the moment,” Scheffler said in quotes reported by pgatour.com.

“It really wasn’t like terrible, but I knew I messed something up just because the way my hand wasn’t really moving much and if I did, it hurt pretty bad. So I knew something was up.”

On his recovery, Scheffler said: “Everything had healed properly and I was in a good spot and got some freedom from the doctor.”

Scheffler won seven PGA Tour titles last year, including a second Masters title.
