Scheffler happy form improving for Masters defence
World number one Scottie Scheffler is confident he is getting back to his best after a relatively slow start to the season as he prepares to defend his Masters title next month.
Scheffler has not won a tournament so far in 2025 having won two at this stage last year – the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship.
His defence of the latter this year did not go to plan as he finished tied for 20th, although his return to action this year was delayed by the injury he suffered while preparing Christmas dinner.
The 28-year-old stabbed himself in the hand with the broken stem of a wine glass while using it to make ravioli.
“I think it would be silly to say that it didn’t set me back a little bit because I had to take a good amount of time off,” he said.
“I’m a right-handed golfer. So any sort of injury you have to that hand, especially a surgical one, is going to have some sort of effect.
“But each day, my hand continues to improve. My body continues to get back to where it needs to be and I think my swing is coming around, as well.
“So I’m definitely excited about the improvements that I’m making.”
Despite no wins yet, Scheffler’s results have not been too bad with two top-10 finishes in his five events so far.
Scheffler will look to claim back-to-back Masters titles when the major gets under way on 10 April, and he is happy with the improvements he is making as the tournament approaches.
“The results this year have been decent,” he added.
“I feel like I’m really close to playing some really nice golf again. I’ve got another good week of prep here at home and I felt like we learned a lot last week at Sawgrass.
“I’m definitely excited about the things that we kind of figured out when we were in Jacksonville.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
