Scottie Scheffler to feature in AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in first event since Christmas dinner injury

Scottie Scheffler has committed to play the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am next week, his first competition since wounding his right hand while preparing Christmas dinner.

Scheffler had said at the start of the week the recovery was progressing well and he was eager to get back but that he wasn’t going to “rush back just to rush back.”

Scheffler tied for sixth last year at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, live on Sky Sports from January 30, when it was reduced to 54 holes due to raging wind and rain.

It will be Scheffler’s first time playing a tournament since he won the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas for the second straight year in December.

Scheffler also teamed up with Rory McIlroy in Las Vegas to win a made-for-TV match that lasted only 14 holes against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.

The 28-year-old said he was unable to touch a club while letting his right hand heal from surgery that removed the glass and said: “It was pretty unusual for me not to be able to do much in the gym.”

Scheffler had to miss The Sentry at Kapalua and The American Express last week in the California desert and did not disclose when he was going to be fit enough to play again.

Scheffler’s ‘lifetime in a year’ in 2024

Scheffler said he had “lived almost a full lifetime this one year” after securing FedExCup victory, capping off a “nuts” season – both on and off the golf course.

The 28-year-old became the first player to win The Players, The Masters and FedExCup in the same season.

Scheffler closed out a four-stroke victory at the season-ending Tour Championship, where he never relinquished top spot at any point during the four days and became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2007 to register seven or more victories in a year on the PGA Tour.

After winning The Masters for a second time in three years, he was arrested and charged ahead of his second round at the PGA Championship in May.

The charges were later dropped with Scheffler going on to win the next two Signature Events – the Memorial Tournament and Travelers Championship – before securing gold for Team USA at the Paris Olympics and winning the PGA Tour’s FedExCup for the first time in his career.
