In recent years, Jason’s day has caused quite a stir among the Augusta National powers-that-be during Masters week. The culprit was the wild outfits of the former great championdesigned by his apparel sponsor Malbon Golf.
An infamous Malbon tee was banned from the Augusta Mid-Masters two years ago.
This yearDay and his Malbon collaborators are once again pushing the boundaries at the historically closed club. One planned Masters outfit in particular was rejected by Augusta National. But the Outfit of the Day he appeared at Augusta wearing on Monday, and the rest of his planned outfits for Masters week, is raising eyebrows once again.
Masters Day’s 2026 outfits are out there
At the top of the Masters, Sports Illustrated reported that Augusta National rejected one of the Malbon Day outfits he planned to wear this week.
That outfit, seen below, featured a head-to-toe rain suit covered in bird imagery. But it turns out that half of that outfit survived the Masters inspectors. Day will wear the bird-covered rain jacket on Thursday if bad weather comes.

The bird motif can be found throughout Day’s Masters writing this year, including the threads he wore Monday during practice at Augusta.
Day appeared in a tan version of the bird motif vest, which features several different types of birds meant to represent Augusta National’s avian residents. (You can see Monday’s Masters outfit in the photos at the top of the page.)

“If you’re on the course and you’re in tune with nature and you know the sounds of the birds, you’re going to make more birds,” Malbon said. Sports Illustrated. “It’s inspired by Native American beliefs. Each of these birds has a different meaning. I’ve been sending bird sounds to Jason for the past six months. Hopefully, he’s trying to stay in touch with nature.”
Day plans to wear the bird vest he rocked Monday again during Friday’s second round, potentially with a matching hat.
Although the most eye-catching outfit of them all might be Day’s choice for Tuesday. While inspired by a bird vest, it looks more like an old school fishing vest. This may be appropriate, however, as Augusta National’s famous ponds are said to be home to monster fish.
Jason Day once had the sweater stopped mid-round at the Masters
If we had to guess what specific problem Augusta National had with the head-to-toe birdie attire they rejected for the 2026 event, it would be that they found it too “busy.”
At least, that’s how Day described the offending Malbon sweater the club asked him to withdraw during the 2024 Masters.

The mostly white vest had large block letters that read, “No. 313 Malbon Golf Championship.”
“Yeah, they asked me to take the – the vest off yesterday … the busy one,” Day told reporters during the 2024 Masters. “With respect, you do it because it’s all about the tournament here, and I understand that. I respect the tournament. That’s what we’re here to do is try to play and win the green jacket.”
As for the club’s rationale, Day said Augusta officials did not provide one.
“I don’t know. I didn’t ask. They said, can you take it off? I said, yeah, no worries.”
But Dita turned a bad sweater into a good deed. of the infamous vest was later sold during a charity auction for Day’s Brighter Days Foundation, with the winning bid reaching $17,300.
