Scottie Scheffler, the reigning Masters champion, suffered a hand injury while preparing Christmas dinner and will miss the start of the 2025 PGA Tour season.

All charges against the golfer were later dismissed. Scheffler will be hard-pressed to ever have a more eventful year than he had in 2024, and his 2025 season will now be getting off to a much quieter start after his injur
