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

After injuring himself while making ravioli on Christmas, top-ranked player makes belated PGA Tour return this week at Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Scheffler has not played competitive golf since he won The Showdown alongside Rory McIlroy in mid-December. He arrived in Las Vegas for the exhibition match against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau fresh off a victory at the Hero World Challenge.
