Jason Day struggled in his first round at The Masters and turned in a scorecard of 75 after making doubles on holes 4 and 16 and bogeying 18. But that’s not what had people talking about Jason Day, it was his outrageous parachute pants in Round 1 that had the golf world discussing the Australian who won the PGA Championship back in 2015.
Not to sit idly by and let his golf game be the focal point of his second round in The Masters, Jason Day showed up on Friday wearing a Malbon Golf Championship vest that many on social media had something to say about.
Malbon Golf released Jason Day‘s Masters scripting a few days ago on X and while everyone had some idea of what Day was going to be wearing based on this picture, the actual on-course outfits have picked up more attention than any other golfer.
On Day 1 with the parachute pants, a lot of people had a LOT to say. Here’s Trey Wingo’s thoughts:
I’m legitimately concerned that Jason Day might set sail with those pants in this wind pic.twitter.com/YP98T5GesW

His pants were the most talked about apparel of any golfer in Round 1. Surely he couldn’t top that for day 2, right? Wrong. His vest on Friday has been the talk of Augusta so far:

There seems to be a theme in the tweets:

This is all reminiscent of Viktor Hovland’s red magnolia shirt last year which became the talk of The Masters and got so much attention that Viktor abandoned his scripting entirely.
Frankly, I dig the vest and liked the pants. Malbon Golf did a fantastic job with Jason Day’s Masters scripting and it has everyone talking.
