In a sport where polo shirts and khakis dominate, Jason Day has opted for clothing like parachute pants or bold sweaters. Last year, his choice of attire, a white sweater vest from Malbon, which read ‘No. 313 Malbon Golf Championship’ in block letters, was restricted by Augusta National’s strict dress code rules. “Can you take it off?” an official asked him. “Yeah, no worries.” But that also prompted him to take a more conservative approach during this year’s Masters. “To Malbon’s credit, they’ve got some bold stuff, but I’m not sure if it’ll pass,” he had stated before the tournament. But it seems the golfer has finally found some relief now.

Bold outfits won’t be a problem at the 2025 U.S. Open, and so his wardrobe is expected to be eye-catching. Malbon’s designs, which often blend streetwear with golf attire, have caught attention not just for their style but also for the reactions they provoke from tournament officials. And so, the Australian golfer walked into the U.S. Open’s Oakmont practice facilities, deciding to rock the flag of the USA with the bold stars and signature colors, and it’s a look that’s truly red, white, and blue-tiful!

Those shorts, which would have suited a US Fourth of July barbecue, rather than a practice for a men’s major, were teamed with a quarter-zip jacket that had a blue and white star-lined collar. As Golf Digest aptly tweeted, “Jason Day rocking the Stars and Stripes today. 🇺🇸” With his patriotic attire, Day is serving some serious style points on the course. “What a fit from Jason Day,” Golf.com’s Claire Rogers had tweeted.

So it isn’t wrong to wonder whether the outfits he sports the rest of the week will measure up to his colorful shorts. But what we do know is that with Day and Malbon teaming up, be ready to expect the unexpected. What’s interesting is that Day, who previously had a contract with Nike, used to sport regular fits for tournaments. However, ever since he teamed up with Malbon Golf, his apparel has become a point of discussion on the internet. In fact, he was the first tour player to sign with them back in early 2024.

And though most people haven’t defended Jason Day’s previous Malbon outfits, it seems this particular one prompted mixed reactions; Both positive and negative. What did fans say about his choice?

Social media users think Jason Day is dressed like a ‘clown’!

Starting off strong with what one fan wrote, “He’s making a statement 😤🇺🇸”. After all, what better way to celebrate the U.S. Open than to wear American flag shorts? Well, not everyone agreed with this. “When your game no longer draws attention you start dressing like a clown to get looks,” mentioned one social media user. Well, there is some truth to it.

Day’s form has been derailing, and it’s not a good look for the golfer. His 2025 performances have been underwhelming, with a T8 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T27 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. He followed this up with another T8 at the Masters Tournament and a T49 at the RBC Heritage. Day’s struggles continued at the PGA Championship, where he missed the cut at Quail Hollow Club with scores of 73 and 75.

Well, before he missed the cut, Day served up a dashing look on the course, turning heads with his bold fashion choice at the PGA Championship. He rocked a visor, striped collared shirt, loose-fitting white khaki pants, and crisp white shoes, drawing plenty of attention from the crowd and social media. And it wasn’t just his outfit that impressed. Day also chipped in an impressive birdie, prompting the PGA Championship’s official social media to comment, “Look good, feel good, play good. Jason Day with the touch.” Despite his strong start, Day ultimately missed the cut, but his style and skills on the course didn’t go unnoticed.

Regardless, his most recent fit also received some hilarious comments. One fan commented, “Is that a swimsuit”, while the other wrote, “Nice swim trunks”.

Are his choices really surprising, though? As Mark Jackson would say, “Mama, there goes that man again!”

One fan commented something that we think many might agree with, as they wrote, “What in the Loudmouth is going on here…🤔.” Well, that was what fans thought, but what do you think? Let us know in the comment section below!
