Early years
Berger was born in Plantation, Florida, to Jewish parents, Nadia and Jay Berger, a former tennis pro (ranked seventh in the world in 1990), coach, and head of men's tennis for the United States Tennis Association. His grandmother, Roslyn Swift Berger, was an accomplished amateur golfer who was inducted into the Greater Buffalo, New York Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. He has two brothers and a sister.
Berger grew up and lived in Key Biscayne, Florida for about thirteen years and began playing golf at age 10. He began taking lessons from PGA Master Professional, Kevin Perkins on a weekly basis and also attended Perkins' golf camp that summer and fell in love with the game. At that early age, Berger indicated to his father that he would like to become a professional golfer. Berger went on to have good success early, by finishing tie for 22nd in the US Kids International Championship, Boys, age 12, shooting rounds of 75, 79 and 75. Berger later moved with his family to Jupiter, Florida, where he also had his first hole-in-one at age 13. He graduated from William T. Dwyer High School in 2011, though he did not play high school golf.
He played college golf at Florida State University in Tallahassee. There, in the spring of 2013 he won both the SunTrust Gator Invitational and the Seminole Intercollegiate, and that season he led the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) with a 69.36 stroke average. He tied for second at the 2013 NCAA Golf Championships as a sophomore, and was named a two-time first-team All-American by the Golf Coaches Association of America and Golfweek, and named to the All-Nicklaus team, All-ACC team, and PING All-Region team. He turned pro after his sophomore year, at age 20.
Personal life
Berger currently resides in Jupiter, Florida.
Professional career
Berger qualified for the Web.com Tour in late 2013 and appeared in four tournaments. He finished T2 at the TPC Stonebrae Championship in 2013 and ranked 15th in the season-long Web.com Tour rankings, earning him a spot in the PGA Tour for the 2014-2015 season.
Berger shot a 6-under-par 64 in the final round of the Honda Classic in March 2015, losing to Pádraig Harrington. If Berger won, it would have been the second-largest final round appearance in PGA Tour history; he started the final round nine strokes behind 54-hole champion Ian Poulter. During the third round, Berger made a double eagle at the par-5 sixth hole.
Berger made the cut in 17 of 31 events, had six top-ten finishes, including two seconds, and was the only rookie to qualify for the Tour Championship field in late September. He came in 11th in the FedEx Cup rankings, 25th on the money list (earning more than $3 million), and was the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
Berger won the FedEx St. Jude Classic near Memphis in June 2016, putting him to 29th in the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. He earned $1.1 million.
Since moving away from TaylorMade, which he used in his first two seasons on tour, Berger began using Callaway clubs and balls at the start of the 2017 PGA Tour Season. Berger won his FedEx St. Jude Classic title and ranked 24th in the world later this year. He was ranked 20th in the world by July and ranked 20th in the world. He was a member of the 2017 US Presidents Cup Team.
Berger hit a third-round 66, putting him in a four-way tie for the lead with Dustin Johnson, defending champion Brooks Koepka, and Tony Finau. However, a final round 73 placed Berger in a tie for 6th place, 5 shots behind eventual champion Koepka.
Berger won the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge on June 14, 2020, and received a winner's check worth $1.375 million. This was the first PGA Tour tournament back after a three-month absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the first playoff hole, Berger won the tournament after Collin Morikawa missed a very short putt for par. He was ranked No. 1 for the victory and No. 1 for the first time. The United States ranks 31nd in the world. In 2019–20, he had a streak of 32 consecutive rounds at par or better, his eighth-longest streak since 1983. Kenny Perry and Harris English had fewer rounds than the streaks of Kenny Perry and Harris English.
In the final round, Berger defeated the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am shooting by a score of 65. He eagled the final hole to win by two strokes over Maverick McNealy.
In September 2021, Berger competed on the US team in the 2021 Ryder Cup in Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, killing Herbert Blower, a native of Wisconsin. The US team defeated 19-19-9, while Berger went 2–1–0 with a win in his Sunday singles match against Matt Fitzpatrick.
