Scottie Scheffler recently shared an update on his surgery, claiming he could potentially be back soon. The American golfer was injured last month while preparing a meal, and as pieces of glass stuck in his hand, he underwent surgery.

Scheffler was supposed to start in 2025 PGA Tour season at The Sentry in Hawaii. However, after the injury, he gave up the competition.

The world number 1 recently reported on his surgery and revealed that he is doing well. Scottie Scheffler had this to say about his injury (via the PGA Tour):

“I feel good, everything went well with the surgery. The body feels pretty good. I’m still making decisions about the schedule going forward. I should know in the next couple of days to a week if I’m going to play next week. It’s all on schedule.”

There’s a chance he could compete in next week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am event. In his recent interview, Scheffler said he was excited to be back.

“I just want to make sure that I’m getting back to normal, that I’m progressing in the right way in my recovery. I definitely can’t wait to get back, excited to get back, but I’m also not going to rush back just to rush back,” he added.

The 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will be held January 30-February 2 at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
