PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Scottie Scheffler felt frustrated sitting at home for two tournaments he normally plays while recovering from glass puncturing the palm of his right hand while making ravioli. A big part of him was thankful the injury wasn’t worse.

Scheffler went into detail Tuesday about how he injured his hand making Christmas dinner, and how he practiced hard early last week in cold weather in Dallas to feel confident he wasn’t returning to the PGA Tour too soon.

He makes his season debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the second $20 million signature event with an 80-man field, including amateur partners for the opening two rounds at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill.

Scheffler played Cypress Point on Monday and Pebble Beach on Tuesday, without a bandage and swinging as freely as ever.

As for the fateful dinner?

Scheffler said he and his family wanted to make ravioli from scratch, so they rolled the dough but were in a rental house and didn’t have the right tools to cut the pasta. He found a wine glass, and that’s when the trouble began.

“I had my hand on top and it broke,” he said. “I’ve heard nothing but horror stories since this happened about wine glasses, so be careful. … It broke and the stem kind of got me in the hand. I can’t live in a bubble, like I’ve got to live my life and accidents happen. It could have been a lot worse.”

It was one of the few mistakes Scheffler — who won seven PGA Tour titles in 2024 — made all year.

Scheffler had a tiny, clear bandage over the spot where he had surgery to remove the shards of glass — upper palm, right below the middle finger, and that’s as demonstrative as he got.

He had to miss The Sentry at Kapalua, Hawaii, and The American Express in the California desert.
