Scottie Scheffler has recently shared an update about his surgery, claiming he could soon make a potential comeback. The American golfer injured himself while preparing a dish last month and as glass pieces were punctured into his hand, he underwent surgery.

Scheffler was scheduled to start his 2025 PGA Tour season at The Sentry in Hawaii. However, he withdrew from the competition following the injury.

The World No. 1 recently provided an update on his surgery and revealed that he is feeling good. Scottie Scheffler said about his injury (via PGA Tour):

“Feeling good, everything went well with the surgery. Body feels pretty good. Still making decisions on schedule going forward. Should know next few days to a week whether I’ll be playing next week. Everything’s on schedule.”

There is a chance of him competing at next week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am event. In his recent interview, Scheffler said that he was excited to make a comeback.

“Just want to make sure I’m getting back to normal, progressing the right way in recovery. I’m definitely anxious 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 take place from January 30 to February 2 at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
