Why Daniel Berger withdrew from the 2025 BMW Championship

Daniel Berger cited an injury to his finger as the reason he was unable to tee it up in the final round of the BMW Championship at Caves Valley.

Daniel Berger withdrew from the BMW Championship on Sunday morning before his final-round tee time.

Berger, 32, cited an injury to his finger as the reason that he wouldn’t be able to play the last 18 holes of the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Daniel Berger watches his shot on the eighth tee during the second round of the 2025 BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club on August 15, 2025 in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Berger played the first 54 holes at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., in 2-over 212 after a 72 on Saturday.

Berger entered the week at No. 33 in the season-long FedEx Cup points race and needed a good week to jump into the top 30 and advance to East Lake in Atlanta for the Tour Championship.

Berger has four career Tour titles but none since the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He was sidelined for 18 months with a back injury but regained full Tour privileges for this season with a T-2 at the 2024 RSM Classic in November and played well enough this season to make the top 50 and will be exempt into all the signature events in 2026. 

Berger was scheduled to tee off at 10:45 a.m. ET on Sunday. Forty-eight competitors remain in the field. Sepp Straka withdrew ahead of the tournament citing personal reasons.
