Jason Day's Masters 2026 Outfit: Malbon's Bold 'Birds of Georgia' Collection The 2026 Masters Tournament at Augusta National has sparked renewed interest in the fashion choices of top golfers, with Australian star Jason Day taking center stage for his collaboration with clothing brand Malbon. Known for his eye-catching style on the course, Day’s latest ensemble, inspired by Georgia’s native birds, has become a focal point of pre-tournament speculation. The collection, dubbed "Birds of Georgia," blends bold design elements with the traditional aesthetics of Augusta National, navigating the fine line between creativity and the tournament’s strict dress code. Day’s partnership with Malbon began after the brand submitted his proposed outfit for approval by the Augusta National Golf Club. The club had previously asked Day to remove his iconic "Championship Vest" during the 2024 Masters due to its perceived excessiveness, a decision that drew widespread attention. For 2026, Malbon has tailored the collection to align with the club’s guidelines, incorporating subtle nods to Georgia’s natural heritage while maintaining Day’s signature flair. The designs are described as "inspired by the instinctive energy of flight," with each piece aimed at enhancing focus and mobility during the tournament. The "Birds of Georgia" collection includes a range of items, such as the Birds of Georgia Vest, Fairway Polo, Ridge Anorak, and Magnolia Pant. While the Magnolia Pant was initially rejected by the club, Day will wear bird-themed designs on Thursday and Friday, with the rest of the week featuring solid-colored attire. Notable pieces include a red vest for Saturday and a blue jacket for Sunday, though these are not available for purchase online.#masters_tournament #augusta_national_golf_club #jason_day #birds_of_georgia #malbon
Augusta National Flags Jason Day's Malbon Outfit Again at Masters Jason Day, the Australian golfer and former world No. 1, faced another scrutiny from Augusta National Golf Club over his Malbon Golf attire during the 2026 Masters Tournament. The incident marks the second time this year that the club has raised concerns about his outfit, following a similar issue in 2024. Day, who is set to compete in his 15th Masters, was spotted wearing a bird-themed ensemble from Malbon Golf during his practice round on Monday. The outfit, part of the "Birds of Georgia" collection, featured a top adorned with various bird species, including orioles, cardinals, and woodpeckers. While the matching pants were reportedly part of the design, Augusta National reportedly requested that Day switch to solid-colored pants instead. The controversy echoes a previous situation in 2024, when Day wore a vest with the slogan "No. 313. Malbon Golf Championship" during his practice round. The club had asked him to remove the garment, and Day complied, stating that his agent received instructions to do so. This year’s incident appears to follow a similar pattern, with Day’s agent reportedly informing him of Augusta National’s request. Day, who has a history of navigating the club’s dress code, has previously acknowledged the importance of adhering to traditions at the Masters. Malbon Golf founder Stephen Malbon defended the design, explaining that the bird-themed outfits were inspired by Native American beliefs. He told Sports Illustrated that each bird symbolizes a different meaning, and the collection was intended to connect players with nature. "If you are on the course and you are tuned in with nature and know the sounds of birds, you’ll make more birdies," Malbon said.#augusta_national_golf_club #jason_day #malbon_golf #stephen_malbon #birds_of_georgia
