Scottie Scheffler is pulling again the curtain on a weird Christmas Day damage that extended his begin to the 2025 season.
Throughout his availability Monday as a part of the Arnold Palmer Invitational media day, the two-time main champion shared he was making selfmade ravioli along with his household when the cooking journey went sideways with damaged glass, leading to surgical procedure on his proper hand.
Though he’s “still making decisions on [the] schedule going forward,” Scheffler is “feeling good” post-op.
“Everything went well with the surgery, body feels pretty good, still making decisions on schedule going forward but we should know in the next few days, to a week, whether I’ll be playing next week but overall recovery is going well, everything is on schedule so we’ll see, but feeling good,” Scheffler stated, in line with Golfweek.
Days after Scheffler, 28, and Rory McIlroy topped LIV Golf’s Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in a Las Vegas Showdown, it was revealed the world’s No. 1 golfer “sustained a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand from a broken glass” throughout Christmas dinner preparations.
Scheffler missed The Sentry in Hawaii, which came about the primary weekend of January, and The American Categorical match that started on Jan. 16.
He’s aiming to return quickly following prolonged day off, simply because the AT&T Pebble Seaside Professional-Am tees off subsequent week.
“I took a couple weeks off after the surgery to make sure everything is healing properly and made sure we’re in a good spot with my hand, so it was definitely a little bit longer and it was pretty unusual for me not to be able to do much in the gym … I was still able to get in there and do some movement stuff with one hand, not going to go work out just the left side of my body,” Scheffler stated, per Golfweek.
Along with getting some “good time to relax” at residence, the place he resides with spouse Meredith and their 8-month-old son Bennett, the reigning Masters champion seemed to the previous in preparation for the yr forward.
“I went back while I was sitting around kind of elevating my hand post-surgery, I was just sitting there, watched some old shots, watched some old tournaments, and I reflected a little bit. Not much, but I just really wanted to jog my memory and since I wasn’t able to play golf, I tried to almost train a little bit at home to remind my brain what I was feeling over certain shots, what my hands felt like on the club, stuff like that, so I wasn’t totally checking out from golf,” Scheffler stated, in line with the PGA Tour’s web site.
Scheffler is trying to replicate a sensational 2024 season that included seven PGA Tour victories and his second Masters win in three years.
