Scottie Scheffler made his 2025 debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and although he didn’t win, his performance should terrify the rest of the PGA Tour.
This marked Scheffler’s first start since undergoing surgery for a puncture wound to his right hand. The World No. 1 suffered the gnarly injury while cooking Christmas dinner for his family, but it didn’t affect him much in his return to the course.
Despite finishing T9, Scheffler led the field in strokes gained on approach at Pebble Beach (6.794). He also ranked sixth in greens in regulation (54/72), 26th in average driving distance (304.6 yards) and 22nd in strokes gained from putting (1.987).
The only issue for Scheffler was around the greens, where he lost 1.648 strokes to the field, but it was just his third time losing strokes from chipping in his last 18 starts. His feel around the greens will quickly return with more reps.
