Scottie Scheffler, the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year, will miss the start of the 2025 PGA Tour season after suffering a freak accident on Christmas Day. The tour’s communications department released a statement on social media, via Scheffler’s manager, Blake Smith, in which it said Scheffler cut his hand, which necessitated surgery.
“On Christmas Day while preparing dinner, Scottie sustained a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand from a broken glass,” the statement read. “Small glass fragments remained in the palm which required surgery. He has been told that he should be back to 100 percent in three to four weeks. Unfortunately, he will have to withdraw from The Sentry. His next scheduled tournament is The American Express.”
