The 28-year-old American has already missed the PGA season premiere in Hawaii. Now it is clear that he will also miss the tournament The American Express, which begins on January 16 in California.

"After consulting with my medical team, I have decided to withdraw from next week's American Express tournament to give my injury more time to heal", writes Scheffler on Instagram.

The golf star is said to have cut himself on a broken glass on Christmas Day. Small glass shards were stuck in the palm of his hand and Scheffler therefore needed to operate on his right hand.
