Scottie Scheffler has provided an update on his return to golf after suffering a bizarre Christmas Day injury making ravioli.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world No 1 has missed the opening three events of the 2025 PGA Tour<\/a> season because of the injury.<\/p>\n

While crafting his homemade ravioli, the golf<\/a> star punctured his right palm. This left him with fragments of glass stuck inside his hand.<\/p>\n

For a sport where using your hands is imperative it was a costly injury which required an operation to remove the glass.<\/p>\n

It means that he will also miss this week’s Farmers Insurance Open event in San Diego<\/a> – where there is a $9.3m purse with $1.67m going to the winner which he would have been favourite to win.<\/p>\n

Scheffler Provides Update After Injury Making Ravioli<\/h2>\n

Scottie Scheffler<\/a> has hinted that he could be back in action by the end of the month after suffering his hand injury while making ravioli.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old made light of the situation insisting he is ‘useless’ changing his son Bennett’s diaper’s one-handed.<\/p>\n

He went on to joke as per the Daily Mail<\/a>: “Sometimes you don’t realise how uncoordinated you are until you have to brush your teeth left-handed.”<\/p>\n

Scheffler hinted he could return from injury at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California next week.<\/p>\n

‘I’m feeling good, everything went well with the surgery,’ Scheffler told reporters.<\/p>\n

‘My body feels pretty good. I’m still making decisions on schedule going forward. I should know (in the) next few days to a week whether I\u2019ll be playing next week. Everything\u2019s on schedule.’<\/p>\n

Scheffler Looks To Build On Excellent 2024<\/h3>\n

Scottie Scheffler will hope to enjoy similar success this year to last once he returns from his unusual injury.<\/p>\n

He won seven times on the PGA Tour<\/a> in 2024. He claimed a second Masters green jacket and won Olympic gold at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n

His start to 2025 has been far from ideal after getting glass stuck in his hand while making ravioli on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

I *think* this is the first sighting of Scottie Scheffler since he cut his hand on Christmas Day and had to get surgery. Looks like he\u2019s wearing some sort of cover\/brace<\/p>\n
