Jason Day receives warning from Masters bosses over ‘inappropriate’ clothing

In recent days, the Australian golfer has been noticed for his clothing, and on Friday, he was instructed to remove a specific piece of clothing that was considered inappropriate for Augusta National.

The organizers of the Masters tournament instructed Jason Day to refrain from wearing his sweater vest on Friday as it did not align with the event’s visual appeal and traditions.

The initial major tournament of the year takes place at Augusta National, where many traditions still exist today. For instance, patrons, media, and golfers are prohibited from using their phones anywhere on the club’s premises. Similarly, sponsorships and branding typically have a low profile at the event.

The Masters tournament does not have a lot of advertisements or billboards because they focus on their own brand and try to maintain a sense of purity.

However, golfers like Day may have their own sponsorships. After spending eight years working for Nike, the Australian recently partnered with Malbon at the beginning of this year.

His clothing choices at the 2024 tournament have been bold and attention-grabbing. Fans took notice and criticized Day’s baggy pants on Thursday, but that was not the only controversial aspect.

Day’s sweater vest on Friday introduced a fresh set of issues.

The large Malbon logo emblazoned across the front was easily visible and was likened by some online users to a box of cigarettes. Day came in second place at the 2011 Masters, falling just short of the champion that year, Charl Schwartzel. When asked about any lingering goals he may have for the Major, he responded by saying he is not dwelling on it too much. “I feel that golf doesn’t owe me anything when I consider it.

I owe a great deal to golf, particularly this place, for the opportunities it has provided me. I need to avoid getting too stressed about it and just focus on hitting the ball straight to alleviate the pressure on myself.”

I am excited to be playing with Tiger and Max for the first two rounds, it’s going to be a fun experience.

I am looking forward to the challenge, particularly in the first two days, as it will be difficult.
