Scottie Scheffler has yet to make his debut in the 2025 season of the PGA Tour. While Scheffler was set to play in The Sentry earlier this month, an injury to his hand while preparing dinner led to the World No. 1 pulling out of the event and even out of subsequent events.
However, despite Scheffler's absence from these early events on the PGA Tour, popular golf reporter Amanda Balionis remains confident that Scheffler will be dominant when he returns. When Balionis was asked what did she expect out of Scheffler this year, she said:
"More world domination. If we learned anything from Scottie Scheffler last year... that crazy situation at the PGA Championship, having his first child. Nothing could shake Scottie Scheffler. And you know, we talked about that injury to his hand as well. He had a crazy freak accident happen I think on Christmas day. Had to have surgery to remove some shards of glass in his hand. So that's why we haven't seen Scottie Scheffler yet this year."
"But I have no doubt in my mind, it doesn't matter what happens to Scottie Scheffler inside or outside the ropes... His mental fortitude is unlike anything we have ever seen, which is what makes him the undisputed World No. 1 and I think we are all just expecting more domination," she added.

While Scottie Scheffler's performance in 2025 remains to be seen, the American golfer had a dominant season in 2024. Last year, Scheffler won eight events on the PGA Tour and also won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
