Daniel Berger and his journey from injury to golfing again
In his time off the course, Daniel Berger took a rest to recover from the injury. Back injuries are in fact very common in golf and can be cured, but can really end your career if not treated correctly and in time.
The golfer made a wise choice by resting up so now he can dial up. Ever since he took a break, his ranking too has suffered and taken a major hit. Earlier he was ranked in the top 25, but that gradually came down and pushed him low in the charts.
