Two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from next week's American Express tournament due to an injury to his right hand sustained while cooking. He hopes to return for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in January.
Scottie Scheffler withdrew from next week's American Express tournament to give his injured right hand more time to heal, he announced on his Instagram account. The two-time Masters champion said he hopes to return at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, to be played Jan. 30-Feb. 2 in Pebble Beach, California. Scheffler suffered a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand while cooking dinner on Christmas Day and had surgery to remove glass fragments, according to his manager, Blake Smith.
Scheffler was expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks, Smith said. Scheffler wasn't scheduled to play in this week's Sony Open in Hawaii or the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, on Jan. 22-25. Scheffler is the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year and FedEx Cup champion after winning seven times in 2024. He was the first golfer since 2007 to capture seven victories on tour. His nine worldwide wins included a second green jacket at the Masters, a gold medal at the Paris Olympics and a second straight victory at the Hero World Challenge, an unofficial event in the Bahamas in December
