Ravioli making improv gone wrong – Scheffler details holiday hand injury

Ahead of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Scottie Scheffler, world No. 1, answered the predictable queries regarding his holiday hand injury.

While preparing homemade ravioli during the Christmas holidays, Scheffler and his wife, Meredith, found themselves without proper kitchen tools in their rental house.

You know where this is going, right? If you’re done kitchen improvisation yourself, you’re well aware it’s nowhere good…

In an attempt to improvise, Scheffler used a wine glass to cut the pasta dough. Pressing down on the glass, it shattered, and the broken stem punctured his right hand.

Check out more of what Scheffler said about this mishap (Handgate? Ravioligate?) below.

Where is the injury?

“It was kind of in like the middle of the upper part of my [right] palm I would say…right in front of the middle finger.”

How did it happen?

“So when you make raviolis, we wanted to make them from scratch so you’ve got to roll the dough and you’ve got to cut the dough, but we were at a rental house so we didn’t have like the right tools and the only thing there was a wine glass that we found.”

“I was — 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. Even if you’re like me and you don’t drink wine, you’ve got to be real careful with wine glasses.”

“Yeah, it broke and the stem kind of got me in the hand. So it’s one of those deals where like it’s truly — I can’t live in a bubble, like got to live my life and accidents happen. You know, it could have been a lot worse.”

“I actually talked to somebody who did the exact same thing and the stem went straight through their hand. 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. Yeah, been like a little more careful doing stuff at home.”

Did he rush to the emergency room?

“No, no, no. I have a friend at home who’s a surgeon and he helped us stop the bleeding. Then it really wasn’t like terrible, but I knew I kind of messed something up just because the way my hand wasn’t really moving much and if I did, it hurt pretty bad. So I kind of knew something was up.”

“We were planning on leaving the next day anyway. Since it didn’t continue bleeding, he stopped the bleeding like pretty quickly, it was maybe 15 minutes or so. Got hold of a guy who helped me with my thumb about 10 years ago, a hand guy at home who works with my friend who’s a hip surgeon. He kind of helped facilitate what to do. He was actually out of town, so I had another guy at home do the surgery that he referred to. And he did a great job, I was able to heal pretty quickly.”

“Yeah, I’m just very thankful that the community around me at home kind of sprung into action pretty quick and got the ball rolling. I’m sure my friends didn’t want to help me stop the bleeding of my hand on Christmas Day, but they jumped into action pretty quick…”

Perhaps most importantly, were the raviolis ruined?

“No, they were good. They weren’t that good, but they were pretty good.”

Is the injury a concern going forward?

“No, not at all.”

On a final golf equipment-related note (this is GolfWRX, after all), Scheffler also stated at the press conference that he’s made no changes to his WITB since his last start.

CBS’s Sunday Masters coverage slammed by golf fans

While Sunday was a dramatic day at the Masters, many golf fans were left feeling frustrated by the CBS final round coverage.

There were plenty of moments that golf fans took to social media to air their frustrations on Sunday over, including a lack of shots being shown throughout the day, being behind the live action, confusion over the approach shots of the final group on 18, and providing an angle for the winning putt where the cup couldn’t be seen.

Here’s a look at some of the criticisms that were directed at the CBS coverage throughout the day on X:

This has been a brutal broadcast for CBS. When the folks from Augusta sit down with them this year, you can bet they’ll talk about this 15 seconds where we have no idea where Rory’s ball went, and Dottie moans. #TheMasters pic.twitter.com/ak3mkpIN7V

It’s rare criticism coming in for CBS, who are usually heavily praised for their Masters coverage each year.

The surprise club Tommy Fleetwood says is key to his Masters chances

Tommy Fleetwood goes in search for the first major victory of his career again this week, with the Englishman proving to be a popular pick at Augusta National.

Fleetwood’s best showing at Augusta came back in 2024 where he finished T3, and while speaking at his pre-tournament press conference, the 35-year-old emphasized the importance of his 9-wood in his pursuit of the green jacket.

Speaking on Tuesday to media, Fleetwood said:

“It’s a great 9-wood golf course. I think it’s always been — I can’t remember when I first put like a 9-wood in or a high lofted club, but it’s a perfect like 9-wood golf course. I’ve had that in the bag for a few years.”

The Englishman continued, revealing that his strategy for the week won’t just be to hit driver off the tee as much as possible:

“Yeah, it’s funny really because I know Augusta is probably associated with being fairly forgiving off the tee in a way, so you think you can whale around driver a little bit. But I don’t necessarily think that’s always the play for me. I think there’s holes that set up really well where I can draw it with the mini driver if I’m feeling less comfortable with the driver and things like that.”

That strategy he believes will make his TaylorMade Qi10 9-wood extra critical this week in Georgia:

“The biggest thing is the 9-wood for me. If I can put myself in position on the par-5s or the 4th long par-3, like it — for me, I can’t really hit that high 4-iron, so 9-wood helps me a lot.”
