After being out of action for over a year, Berger recently shared an Instagram story in which he can be seen swinging his golf club. NUCLR GOLF shared the video on Twitter which received several reactions from the fans.
One of the fans called him "Prime LIV golfer", but, Berger plays on the PGA Tour. The fan's comment might have come in a sarcastic tone, but it can not be affirmed.
Another fan denied to remember Daniel Berger as he went on to write:
"Hate to say it but I forgot all about this guy."
One of the fans claimed that no one cared.
