Scottie Scheffler has reportedly committed to next weekend’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, according to Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle. The event will mark Scheffler’s return to the PGA Tour after puncturing his right hand while preparing Christmas dinner.
The injury led to a minor surgery to remove “small glass fragments” in his palm, according to Scheffler’s agent.
Scheffler, the reigning PGA Tour player of the year, has not played competitively in over a month, last playing in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Dec. 8 and the LIV vs. PGA Tour Showdown with Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau on Dec. 17 in Las Vegas.
The injury caused Scheffler to miss the opening three tournaments of the 2025 season. His initial plan following the incident was to open his year at the PGA West in Southern California last week, but he withdrew, citing the need for more healing time.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am features a field of 80 players, the largest among the PGA Tour’s signature events. Scheffler finished tied for sixth in last year’s tournament after weather forced the event to be reduced to 54 holes.
Scheffler is coming off a dominant year on Tour last season. He won seven times, including at both the Masters and The Players Championship, and he won the Tour Championship to end the season. He picked up his third straight Player of the Year award, which is something only Tiger Woods has done. Scheffler didn’t miss a cut in his 19 starts on Tour, and he finished outside of the top 10 just once in his 13 starts before the U.S. Open in June.
He also finished T8 at the PGA Championship in May despite being arrested ahead of the second round of that event in Kentucky. Those charges were later dismissed.
