Golf star told he is banned from wearing outfit at The Masters

Jason Day has been told that his extravagant outfit plan for The Masters this year has been banned by officials at Augusta National.

In less than one week, arguably the biggest competition in golf will begin as Augusta National in Georgia welcomes players for The Masters.

As one of the most prestigious events of the year, the tournament is set to have a smaller field projected to have approximately 91 to 93 golfers, including 2025 champion Rory McIlroy.

Among the rest of the field will be Australia's Day, who will compete in his 15th Masters Tournament when he tees of on April 9.

However, ahead of his appearance this year, the 38-year-old has been told that the bold outfit choice he had hoped to wear for his opening round has been deemed to be too outrageous by Augusta National.

Day, who isn't afraid to stand out due to his fashion choices, panned to wear a head-to-toe bird-themed outfit as part of a collaboration with Malbon Golf during the first round on Thursday.

But, due to the strict rules and regulations that has made The Masters so popular, Day has been told that he must instead wear proper solid-coloured trousers when he steps onto the course.

Thankfully, Day's Birds of Georgia jacket will be allowed, with Sports Illustrated reporting that Augusta National have approved the unique top.

Explaining the outfit, Malbon Golf founder Stephen Malbon told the outlet:“If you are on the course and you are tuned in with nature and know the sounds of birds, you'll make more birdies.

“It's inspired by Native American beliefs. Each one of these birds has a different meaning. I’ve been sending the noises of the birds to Jason for the last six months. Hopefully, he’s trying to stay in touch with nature.”

Jason Day told to remove outfit at 2024 Masters

With Day often wearing exciting and special outfits at the majors, this isn't the first time that he's found himself in trouble at Augusta.

During the 2024 Masters, Australian was asked to remove his vest because of the oversized branding which read 'No. 313 Malbon Golf Championship.'

"They asked me to take the vest off, the busy one," he explained at the time.

"Respectfully, you do that 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 and play and win the green jacket. I don't know why they asked me to take it off. I didn't ask. They said, 'can you take it off?' I said, 'yeah, no worries'."
