Scottie Scheffler injures hand on Christmas, out until mid-January

Scottie Scheffler will miss the first event of the season in Maui because of an incident that occurred on Christmas.

Scottie Scheffler’s first Christmas as a father did not go so smoothly.

While preparing dinner for his family, Scheffler sustained a puncture wound in the palm of his right hand, per his agent, Blake Smith. Small pieces of broken glass injured his hand, with some of those fragments remaining in place. He consequently had to have surgery to remove those bits of glass.
