Scottie Scheffler told reporters on Tuesday that he was attempting to make homemade ravioli on Christmas when he made the mistake of using an empty wine glass to shape the pasta. The glass ultimately broke, stabbed him in the hand and forced him to undergo surgery.

"I had my hand on top of it and it broke, which, side note, I've heard nothing but horror stories since this happened about wine glasses, so be careful," he said. "Even if you're like me and you don't drink wine, you've got to be real careful with wine glasses."

Scheffler said the wound closed the next day but he still had pain and a limited range of motion in his hand, so he consulted with a hand doctor and the pair settled on surgery as the best course of action. He doesn't expect the injury will cause any long-term damage, despite the short-term hit to his pride.

"It's one of those deals where immediately after it happened, I was mad at myself because I was like, 'Gosh, that's so stupid,' but you just don't think about it when you're in the moment," he said. "Yeah, definitely been a little more careful doing stuff at home."

Scheffler's surgery forced him to miss a pair of tournaments in January, The Sentry in Maui and the American Express in Palm Springs. Instead, he'll make his 2025 debut at Thursday's Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Last year's PGA Tour Player of the Year is looking to build on a fantastic 2024 campaign that saw him win a gold medal at the Paris Olympics and seven PGA tournaments, including the Masters, THE PLAYERS Championship and the TOUR Championship. He just got a slightly later start on that journey than expected due to a wayward wine glass.
