Daniel Berger's Injury Ends BMW Championship Run; FedEx Top 30 Dream Fades

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In the sports world, few things sting more than an untimely injury. It can derail a season, a career, or a legacy. Just ask Tiger Woods, whose last competitive round came at the 2024 PNC Championship before a lingering ankle injury forced him into extended recovery since March. Golf's history is littered with such stories, and the BMW Championship saw one of them unfold after the third round. On Sunday morning, the PGA Tour announced that Daniel Berger, a four-time Tour winner and one of Woods' longtime admirers, had withdrawn from the final round of the BMW Championship due to a finger injury. Berger was scheduled to tee off at 10:45 a.m. ET at Caves Valley Golf Club alongside Justin Rose but never made it to the first tee.

During Saturday's third round, NBC cameras caught Berger icing his left hand after appearing to jar it during a swing on the back nine. He finished the round with a 2-over 72, bringing his 54-hole total to 2 over par, just outside the projected cut for the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings. Berger entered the week ranked No. 33 in the FedEx Cup race. A solid final round could have vaulted him into the top 30 and secured a spot at next week's Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Instead, his season ends one place short.

Berger missed nearly two seasons due to a debilitating back injury that sidelined him after the 2022 U.S. Open. He returned to competition at the 2024 American Express Championship and quickly proved he still belonged. This year too, the 32-year-old made an impressive 16 of 20 cuts, posted nine top-25 finishes, and nearly returned to the winner's circle with a runner-up at the WM Phoenix Open and a T3 at the RBC Heritage. Additionally, Berger also made the cut in all four majors and climbed back into the top 40 of the Official World Golf Ranking. Though he won't be at East Lake, Berger's performance this season earned him exemptions into all of the PGA Tour's Signature Events next season.

Marco Penge wins Danish Golf Championship as Rasmus Hojgaard misses big Ryder Cup chance

Relive the best moments from Round 3 of the BMW Championship — the second event of the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs — at Owings Mills, Maryland. COPENHAGEN — Englishman Marco Penge birdied the 18th hole to win the Danish Golf Championship on Sunday by a stroke over Rasmus Hojgaard, who missed a chance to climb into the automatic qualifying positions for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Hojgaard looked on course for the title in his home country when he powered into a four-shot lead midway through his front nine, only to drop four strokes in four holes from No. 10 and allow Penge to take the lead. Penge walked down the par-5 18th with a two-shot cushion over Hojgaard in the final pairing, but saw his competitor roll in an eagle putt from 10 feet to the delight of the crowd at Furesø Golf Klub in Copenhagen. The 97th-ranked Penge needed to hole a birdie putt from 4 feet for the win and he held his nerve to shoot 4-under 67, finish on 16 under for the week and seal a second DP World Tour title. Both victories have come this year, with the first at the Hainan Classic in April. Hojgaard (69) was the runner-up and will remain outside the six automatic qualifying spots, just behind projected No. 6 Shane Lowry and No. 7 Sepp Straka, in the race to get into Europe's team for the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black next month. There is one qualifying event left for players next week. Hojgaard will play at the British Masters on the European tour and Straka and Lowry are scheduled to play on the PGA Tour at the Tour Championship, which offers more qualifying points.
