Scheffler cut himself while making pasta using a wine glass for Christmas dinner, and he was forced to miss his first two anticipated starts of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m on a similar routine to how I was going into last offseason,\u201d he said Wednesday at Albany. \u201cI don\u2019t anticipate any interruptions this time around. Surprises happen, but I\u2019m remaining hopeful that nothing will go down. Yeah, it\u2019s good being back in a routine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler joked, \u201cI don\u2019t cook, I don\u2019t touch glass,\u201d during this offseason, and he also said he was proud of the way he was able to recover from the injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe consistency that I played with this year, I\u2019m extremely proud of. I think for me to be able to put in as many top finishes as I did takes a lot of work and takes a lot of energy and focus to be able to do that,\u201d he said. \u201cI was proud of the discipline that I had throughout the season, and not only that discipline but also staying patient in the beginning of the year when things weren\u2019t going as I\u2019d hoped they would.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler won six times in 2025, including the PGA Championship and The Open Championship, and he was named a nominee for his fourth consecutive <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.golfchannel.com\/pga-tour\/news\/pga-tour-reveals-nominees-for-player-and-rookie-of-the-year\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">player of the year award on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also won the last two Hero World Challenges and said the unofficial event that is hosted by Woods is the perfect time to test his game and new equipment after a lengthy layoff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that\u2019s a lot of what\u2019s really valuable for me about this week. I would say testing things out in competition is a good way of kind of seeing where you\u2019re at,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can simulate competition at home, but coming out here and playing stroke play is always a bit different over the course of four days. I find this week to be pretty valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NASSAU, Bahamas \u2013 World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler arrives at Tiger Woods\u2019 annual member-member in the Bahamas with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-332125","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
