The injury is a tough break for Scheffler, who by missing the event at Kapalua is out of a chance compete in the season’s first signature event, with the field of 2024 winners and the top 50 finishers in the FedEx Cup standings vying for a total purse of $20 million and first prize of $3.6 million.

Scheffler’s agent Blake Smith said Scheffler’s next scheduled tournament will be The American Express from Jan. 16-19.
