According to a statement released by the PGA Tour on behalf of Scheffler, the star golfer suffered the injury while preparing dinner on Christmas Day.
“Scottie sustained a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand from a broken glass,” the statement read.
“Small glass fragments remained in the palm which required surgery.
“He has been told that he should be 100% in three to four weeks.”
The setback means Scheffler will miss The Sentry in Hawaii from January 2-5 but is set to return for The American Express tournament starting on January 16.
The injury occurred just a week after Scheffler and Rory McIlroy teamed up to defeat LIV stars Bryson Dechambeau and Brooks Koepka in The Showdown match-play exhibition under lights in Las Vegas.
Scheffler is coming off a jaw-dropping 2024 campaign, which saw him lead the entire tour in strokes gained, scoring average and prizemoney won.
He also added a second Masters to the CV and was awarded his third consecutive PGA Tour of the Year award.
He joins Tiger Woods as the only player to win the award three years running.
