Jason Day stuns Augusta National with new clothing line
By Matt Chivers
Jason Day signed a deal with Malbon Golf with his tenure at Nike from 2016 coming to an end…
A new year has brought a new Jason Day.
The Australian revealed he signed a clothing deal with Malbon Golf back in January.
The former PGA Champion posed for pictures in his new apparel in images posted to X/Twitter.
“It’s a new Day. Excited to be joining #teammalbon,” Day wrote online ahead of competing in The Sentry in Hawaii.
This announcement marked the end of Day’s tenure with Nike Golf which began in 2016.
He reportedly signed a deal worth $10 million a year, including wearing Nike shoes, clothing and a hat. This deal was signed shortly after Nike ended its equipment rollout.
Day became Malbon’s first PGA Tour ambassador, seven years after its inception.
The brand was founded by Stephen and Erica Malbon in 2017 and aims to “provide quality products, tell stories, and invite customers to take part in the community of like-minded thinkers that we have created.
“The brand is fueled by meticulous and tasteful customers who have a passion for golf as well as expressing themselves through what they wear,” as per the website.
Day has stunned golf fans with a new Malbon sweater on day two of the Masters. The Australian is certainly standing out on the famous Georgia fairways.
Jason Day: Malbon Man parted ways with Nike like Tiger Woods
Day’s cut-off with Nike came when speculation surrounded one of the company’s most recognised athletes.
Rumours suggested Tiger Woods’ deal with the Swoosh was about to end, and the rumours about the 15-time major champion proved to be true.
Ahead of the Genesis Invitational, Woods held the official launch of his new clothing line Sun Day Red, produced by TaylorMade.
The new apparel and footwear brand will be available to consumers on May 1 and the launch marked a new realm in Woods’ career that became synonymous with Nike.
In other significant apparel news on the PGA Tour, the X/Twitter tracker account of Xander Schauffele posted images of the American wearing Descente clothing as opposed to Adidas earlier this season.
