Scottie Scheffler confirms PGA Tour return after freak Christmas Day injury required surgery

Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, is set to make his PGA Tour comeback at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am following a freak Christmas Day accident. While preparing dinner, Scheffler sustained a glass puncture wound in his right palm, requiring surgery.

The injury sidelined him for four events, including the Sony Open and The Sentry. Despite a slower-than-expected recovery, Scheffler focused on lower-body strength during rehabilitation and is determined to continue his momentum after his Hero World Challenge victory in December.

Scheffler’s return is a major boost for the PGA Tour, which has missed several top players this season. The $20 million Pebble Beach Pro-Am will also feature Rory McIlroy, promising an exciting week for golf fans worldwide.
