Jason Day Sparks Controversy With Wild Outfit Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
In a world of golf where tucked-in polo shirts and khakis reign supreme, the presence of Jason Day has been a breath of fresh air for many over the past couple of years. With his daring sense of style that has ruffled feathers and turned many heads, Day has made a name for himself thanks to his partnership with Malbon, rocking parachute pants, trendy sweaters, and groutfits on the course.
This week, just a couple of days before the U.S. Open tees off on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club, Day once again turned some heads with his outfit choice. On Tuesday while warming up for a practice round, Day looked more like he was getting ready to head to a 4th of July barbecue rather than play a round of golf at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the nation.
On theme for the week, Day was seen warming up on the range while rocking a pair of stars and stripes shorts with a blue polo shirt.

What you think of Day’s outfit choice likely represents how you feel about Day’s fashion choices in general. Some are big fans of the bold looks, and the relatively casual nature with which Day treats the game, while others are upset that he is making a statement and going against the grain with his clothing.
Here’s how some fans reacted on social media Tuesday morning:
“Dude’s straight up wearing swim trunks,” one commenter said.
“These are hard dgaf what anybody says,” another fan added.
“Known American, Jason Day,” one observer added, noting that Day is famously Australian, making his American Flag shorts a bit ironic.
Brilliant! You can’t have a problem with this look without being accused of being ‘unpatriotic.’
A real dilemma. All in! https://t.co/zim4fd1ztp— Will Haskett (@willhaskett) June 10, 2025
While Day is letting the flashy outfit shine on a Tuesday practice round, it’s fair to assume that he may tone things down a bit once the tournament starts on Thursday. We’ve seen this be the case in the past, with Augusta National Golf Club famously having to approve his wardrobe before The Masters Tournament this past spring.
As for the actual golf being played, Day hopes to get back into form and compete for another major championship. His only major victory came in 2015 at the PGA Championship, and he hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2022 at the AT&T Byron Nelson.
This season, Day has three top-10 finishes in 10 starts thus far.
