World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from The American Express tournament due to a hand injury sustained on Christmas. He is hoping to return for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Scottie Scheffler withdrew from The American Express on Monday, missing his second consecutive tournament due to injury. Scheffler, 28, underwent minor surgery to repair a glass puncture in his right hand suffered on Christmas. The world’s No. 1 player was preparing for Christmas dinner when he hurt his hand, which forced him to miss the beginning of the PGA Tour season at The Sentry in Hawaii, a signature event.
'After consulting with my medical team, I have made the decision to withdraw from next week's American Express tournament to give my injury more time to heal,' Scheffler said in an Instagram post. Scheffler is hopeful of making his 2025 PGA Tour debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a signature event that starts Jan. 30. Scheffler won seven PGA Tour titles, while winning The Masters for a second time in his career. He also represented the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and won a gold medal after a late surge. With his strong showing in 2024, he became the first player since Tiger Woods to win PGA Tour player of the year in three consecutive seasons, since Woods did in 2005-2007. Scheffler also became the first player since Woods in 2009 to hold the No. 1 ranking for an entire calendar year. The American Express tournament is in Palm Desert, California, and is scheduled for Jan. 16-19
