Xander Schauffele reveals when Scottie Scheffler will return to PGA Tour action after being forced to withdraw from The Sentry.
Xander Schauffele has revealed Scottie Scheffler is expected to return to PGA Tour action at The American Express from 16-19 January.
Runaway World No.1 Scheffler, 28, was forced to withdraw from The Sentry in Hawaii this week after a hand injury during Christmas Dinner.
Scheffler sustained a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand on Christmas Day from a piece of broken glass, his agent Blake Smith said last week.
He was preparing dinner for his family when the accident happened.

"It's a huge bummer," Schauffele said in response to Scheffler having to withdraw from the first PGA Tour event of 2025.
"I hope he's okay. I heard he was going to be back for American Express, then you hear he has surgery. I didn't feel, like, too comfortable texting him. It's weird, because we're competitors, but at the same time he's such a nice guy, him and Mere. I just hope he's fine.
"We're a lot better off with him here in Hawaii than not, so hopefully he gets a full recovery and he's fine."
As for Schauffele's own game heading into 2025, the World No.2 admits his golf swing is not quite at 100% at the moment.
"I would say everything I was working on with Chris [Como] last year is still not, you know, it feels like my swing, but it's still something that's a little bit uncomfortable," said Schauffele.
"As long as I'm producing good shots I feel the confidence to keep moving in the right direction, and obviously got a lot of confidence after some results last year. But some of the same stuff, getting the club in certain positions and trying to move the correct way, so a lot of the same, to be honest."
Schauffele also addressed a hot Ryder Cup topic during his first press conference of the new season.
