“I love competition. I love to come out and feel I can play against anybody in the world. That being taken away from you is the toughest part,” Daniel Berger said earlier this year. For him, 2025 was supposed to be the year of his comeback. After being sidelined for more than 18 months with a debilitating back injury two years ago, he was looking forward to reclaiming what he once thought he had lost. But his chapter with setbacks turns out not to be over yet.
Daniel Berger’s 2025 season has come to an abrupt end. The four-time PGA Tour winner, who has earned over $29 million on the Tour, withdrew from the BMW Championship ahead of its final round. Sources listed the reason as a ‘finger injury,’ sustained while hitting a shot late in Saturday’s third round.

The timing couldn’t be more brutal. Berger had shown signs and hope of turning the corner in his comeback season, with a solo 3rd at the RBC Heritage and a runner-up at the Phoenix Open. He also made 15 cuts in 21 starts. In fact, he was tied for 29th place at the BMW Championship, finishing his third round at +2 for the tournament before exiting. But now, with his sudden withdrawal, the Florida native faces an uncertain road once again.
