“Scottie sustained a puncture wound to the palm
of his right hand from a broken glass,” Scheffler’s manager,
Blake Smith, said Friday in a statement. “Small glass fragments
remained in the palm which required surgery. He has been told
that he should be back to 100% in three to four weeks."
Scheffler withdrew from The Sentry, the winners-only tournament
Jan. 2-5 at Kapalua Resort. His next scheduled tournament is The
American Express on Jan. 16-19 in La Quinta, California.
Last season, Scheffler won the Jack Nicklaus Award as PGA Tour
player of the year in a landslide, joining Tiger Woods as the
only players to win the award three straight times.
His seven PGA Tour wins included a second Masters title, and he
became the first repeat winner of The Players Championship. He
won an Olympic gold medal when he shot 62 on the final day, and
also took the Tour Championship to claim the FedEx Cup.
