Scottie Scheffler steered clear of wine glasses when helping with Christmas dinner this year.
That joke was surely going around the PGA West resort in La Quinta, Calif., as the No. 1 player in the world arrived for The American Express, his 2026 PGA Tour season debut.
Scheffler’s 2025 season got off to a delayed start after he injured his hand on Christmas 2024, when a wine glass shattered while he was using it to shape ravioli for dinner. Among other tournaments, he missed The American Express in the Palm Desert region of California.
When you’re on a long hot streak like Scheffler has been since 2022, you don’t need to make many changes to your approach. Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Scheffler said he treated his offseason the same as usual.
