Scottie Scheffler reveals how homemade ravioli led to his horrific hand injury
Scottie Scheffler is gearing up for his return to PGA Tour action this week after a holiday hand injury kept him sidelined for nearly the first month of play.
Arriving at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Scheffler knew he had some explaining to do about the December kitchen mishap that required surgery. All we knew about the incident is that it involved a broken wine glass. On Tuesday we got the full story and it's honestly sillier than we could've imagined.
According to the world No. 1 golfer, he was making homemade ravioli at a rental home without proper kitchen equipment. So he used a wine glass to slice the dough and you can guess what happened next.
'I had my hand on top of it and it broke, which, side note, I've heard nothing but horror stories since this happened about wine glasses, so be careful,' Scheffler said per The Athletic. 'Even if you're like me and you don't drink wine, you've got to be real careful with wine glasses.'
The glass pierced his right palm and immediately made Scheffler reconsider his cooking ingenuity.
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Best Bets: What to make of Scheffler's return?
'It's one of those deals where immediately after it happened, I was mad at myself because I was like gosh, that's so stupid, but you just don't think about it when you're in the moment,' Scheffler said. 'Yeah, definitely been a little more careful doing stuff at home.'
Honestly, this is the type of silly, but serious injury you expect to see from a Major League Baseball player — particularly a New York Met.
We'll see how much the injury and recovery impacts his game this week. In the meantime, we can go ahead and guess which dish will not be on his Masters Champions dinner menu this April.

US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont
US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont Show Caption Hide Caption WATCH: Sam Burns discusses third round at U.S. Open at Oakmont Sam Burns speaks to reporters following the third round of the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club Saturday, June 14, in Oakmont, Pa. The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open has come to a halt. A weather delay is in place at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, with golfers on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to "dangerous weather." Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped. The timeline for stoppage of play has not been determined. It had been a pretty good weekend of weather for the third major of the year, as conditions have been mostly dry during play. Temperatures reached a high of around 80 degrees for the first holes, and the first moments of rain came on Friday night. However, Sunday was going to be a concerning day for weather as showers were expected. The National Weather Service reported rain showers were possible in the morning and scattered showers would take place throughout the day. Play was stopped with Sam Burns on top of the leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott is in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par.

Sam Burns Shares Scottie Scheffler Influence on U.S. Open Mastery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scottie Scheffler arrived at Oakmont Country Club as the overwhelming favorite to win the 2025 U.S. Open. However, after 54 holes, it is not Scheffler who leads the pace, but rather his good friend Sam Burns. However, the World No. 1 has played kind of a role in Burns' result, as the US Open leader himself made clear after the third round. "Scottie's obviously an incredible player. I don't think I need to say that [laughing]," Burns said. "But I think we obviously spend a lot of time together and being able to talk to him and just kind of learn from him and ask him questions, it's been really cool." "As good of a player as he is, he's a better guy, and I think that's what makes it really special to watch, because you want to root for somebody like that. So he's an easy guy to root for." "He happens to be also the best player in the world. But, yeah, it's been nice to kind of pick his brain and ask him certain things."

Sam Burns of the United States and Scottie Scheffler of the United States practice the 12th hole prior to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 14, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. More Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Burns carded rounds of 72, 65, and 69, putting him at 4-under par entering the fourth round. Meanwhile, Scheffler hasn't been able to get close to the top spots on the leaderboard, carding a 73, 71, and 70 through the first three rounds. The two players have been good friends since their junior years. It's no coincidence that Burns was asked about Scheffler, nor is it a coincidence that the latter had given his opinion on Burns' game the day before. "He plays golf, I think, very freely, and he's got really good natural instincts when it comes to his putting, and a lot of it is just very reactionary," he said. "He's got good fundamentals, good instinct, and he putts very reactionary. That's really all there is to it, it's as simple as that." Sam Burns is seeking his first major title and sixth PGA Tour victory at Oakmont. Of his 20 major championship appearances, he has only finished in the top 10 once, tying for ninth at the 2023 U.S. Open. More Golf: Wyndham Clark Loses Temper, Goes Berserk in U.S. Open Locker Room

Caitlin Clark weighs in on U.S. Open in funny social media post: 'Is Oakmont even fun?' Oakmont Country Club is hard, everyone knows that. Well, maybe some are just beginning to realize it as they tune into Sunday's final-round action of the 2025 U.S. Open. Caitlin Clark is among those viewers. In a social media post to X, the WNBA star made a hilarious remark as the world watches the best golfers on the planet stumble at Oakmont. "Is Oakmont even fun to play," she pondered. Most of us feel that way, Caitlin. Clark is enjoying the U.S. Open just a day removed from recording one of the best single-game performances of the season in the WNBA. She had 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, including seven three-pointers. Clark is a big-time golfer. At last year's RSM Classic, she participated in the pro-am, where she was paired with PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and 2023 Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson, a fellow Iowan. "It is incredible. It was awesome to watch," Monahan said. "What really struck me was her love of the game. Clearly, her competitive spirit and fire come through."
