Wastes commanding lead at API Berger finished second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational after losing to Akshay Bhatia on the first playoff hole.

Impact Berger was the man to beat from the get-go after opening the tournament with a bogey-free, nine-under 63 score that included three consecutive birdies from holes 10 to 12. He grew his lead with a four-under 68 second round before stalling a bit Saturday with an even-par 72, but he looked to be in control with a five-stroke lead heading into the back nine of the final round. However, Berger was unable to gain any strokes on the back nine, and his bogey on the par-3 17th was enough for Bhatia to catch up to the former and force a playoff. Berger found the rough with his tee shot on the first playoff hole, and while he was able to muscle his second shot to the front of the green, he proceeded to three-putt bogey for the first time of the tournament, which was enough for Bhatia to capture the API with a par. It was an incredibly disappointing finish for Berger, who looked to be closing in on his first PGA Tour victory since the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2021 before losing his lead on the 71st hole at the API. He's in the field for THE PLAYERS Championship next week, where he's finished T20 or better in each of his last three outings and has made the cut in eight of nine appearances.

Fifth in SG: APP at Cognizant Berger closed with a two-under 69 on Sunday at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches to finish six-under and tied for 32nd.

Impact Berger rebounded from his missed cut at Riviera by ranking fifth among the Cognizant Classic field in both SG: Approach and overall proximity. However, he's now lost strokes with his short game in four consecutive outings, and he averaged just 65 feet of putts made per round at PGA National. Berger will be in attendance again this week for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, having placed T15-MC-T13 in three prior appearances at Bay Hill.

Fails to make cut at Riviera Berger posted a 72-72 scorecard at The Genesis Invitational to miss the cut by two strokes.

Impact It was Berger's first missed cut of the 2026 season and first MC since the Memorial Tournament in late May. It's been an inconsistent start to the season for the 32-year-old, as he finished T6-T56-T16-T75 over his first four tournaments prior to The Genesis. Berger is in the field in next week's Cognizant Classic, which will serve as a tune-up for the Arnold Palmer Invitational that tees off March 5. Berger has made the cut in six of nine appearances at the Cognizant, including a runner-up effort in 2015 (when he lost to Padraig Harrington on the second playoff hole), fourth in both 2020 and 2022 and T25 in 2025.

T75 at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Berger fired a four-under 68 on Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish two-over and tied for 75th.

Impact Berger's 68 marked his best score of the week by five shots, hitting 15 of 18 greens in regulation during Sunday's final round at Pebble Beach. However, he ranked just 73rd among the field in SG: Putting and 76th in SG: Around-the-Green for the tournament, though he's still gained strokes off the tee in each of his first four starts this season. Berger will peg it again this week at Riviera Country Club where he's a career 0-for-2 in cuts made.
