Clueless on how to restore my desk

Hi, Everyone. I am seeking advice on how to restore my office desk made of teak. I have limited restoration experience and am clueless on how to approach this particular issue.

A long while ago, I bought a felt mat for the desk with the idea that it would help protect it, but I clearly didn't think it through enough. The underside of the mat has a pattern of what I think is plastic bubbles that help it not slide around. They're not hard at all. However, I recently pulled it up from the desk to clean the desk and it has left behind the pattern in the desk.

When I run my hand over it, it doesn't feel sticky, the wood isn't raised, but it also doesn't feel indented. Because of this, I can't really decide on a plan of attack.

I could certainly use any and all advice.
