The runaway FedEx Cup leader was looking to become the first player to win three straight tournaments on the PGA Tour since Dustin Johnson in 2017.
Scheffler was also seeking a first victory in his home state of Texas.
But it was not to be as it was Jaeger's week in Houston.
Jaeger now qualifies for his first-ever trip to The Masters from 11-14 April.
As a result of playing his way into the season's first major at Augusta National, he has decided to withdraw from next week's Texas Open where Rory McIlroy will start a warm tournament favourite.
