Overview

  • On June 10 at Oakmont Country Club, Day arrived for U.S. Open practice in loose-fitting red, white and blue American flag shorts paired with a star-lined quarter-zip jacket.
  • Golf Digest praised his patriotic ensemble on social media, but some fans criticized the look as distracting and likened it to a “clown” outfit.
  • Day left Nike for Malbon Golf in early 2024 and has since made bold, unconventional attire a signature element of his on-course persona.
  • At both the 2024 and 2025 Masters, Augusta National officials required Day to tone down his wardrobe, leading him to pre-approve outfits in advance.
  • His 2025 tournament results have been modest with several mid-table finishes, prompting discussion over whether his fashion focus is eclipsing his performance.
