According to Max Schreiber of golfchannel.com, Daniel Berger of Plantation, Florida has withdrawn from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am because of a back injury. Berger is the defending champion of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, as in 2021 he defeated American Maverick McNealy by two strokes after posting a four-round score of -18.
This was Berger’s fourth career victory on the PGA Tour. He previously won the 2016 and 2017 FedEx St. Jude Classic, and the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge. The 2016 and 2017 FedEx St. Jude Classic titles came at a time when the event was part on the regular PGA Tour, and not part of the World Golf Championship as it was from 2019 to 2021. The FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tennessee replaced the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational for three years, but the event no longer has WGC status as of 2022.
The Charles Schwab Challenge meanwhile was the first PGA Tour event in 202o that returned after the coronavirus pandemic. There was literally no golf on the PGA Tour from the end of March until the middle of June. When the PGA Tour did return, Berger had the worldwide sports landscape close to himself, as he defeated Collin Morikawa in a playoff.
Berger is currently ranked 16th in the world. However due to the fact the United States are dominating men’s golf at the moment, he is only the 10th best American golfer.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is known for including celebrities and having them teamed up with PGA players. Berger was to golf alongside rapper ScHoolboy Q, and will be replaced in the field by Kevin Stadler. Kevin is the son of 1982 Masters champion Craig Stadler.
