World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler says his “stupid” Christmas day injury won’t impact his first competitive tournament of the year at this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler took a 53-day unplanned absence from professional golf when he had a kitchen mishap that caused surgery to remove glass fragments from his right hand. On Thursday morning in his return, Scheffler looked a little rusty, making a bogey on the par 4, 10 th hole, when he couldn’t get up and down from a greenside bunker.

Twenty-seven players in the world top 30 will play for the $3.6 million winner’s check (from a $20 million purse), with the only players missing being world No. 2 Xander Schauffele ( rib injury) and LIV golfers Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau.
