Scottie Scheffler made a poor start to the third round of the US PGA Championship

2024 FedExCup Champion Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from the PGA Tour’s 2025 season-opening tournament, The Sentry, which will take place next week, January 2-5 at The Plantation Course at Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii.

“On Christmas Day while preparing dinner, Scottie sustained a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand from a broken glass. Small glass fragments remained in the palm which required surgery. He has been told that he should be back to 100% in three to four weeks. Unfortunately, he will have to withdraw from The Sentry. His next scheduled tournament is The American Express.” – Blake Smith, manager to Scottie Scheffler.

The complete field for The Sentry will be released today, December 27 after the commitment deadline of 5 p.m. ET.
