Malbon golf joggers: Has golf clothing gone too far? Jason Day’s bold choice sparks debate!

Jason Day has certainly made a splash with his choice of apparel over the last year. His choice of Malbon gear has certainly caught the attention of some of the golf world online, and not for the first time either – this time with some Malbon golf joggers that he showcased in a practice round at The Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

The Australian became the first PGA Tour player to become an ambassador of the trendy golf wear brand, Malbon. He signed a one-year deal in January 2024 and looks set to wear the brand again this season. Ever since, the pair have put the golfing community on notice with outlandish and at times controversial wardrobe choices.

Discontent that often springs to mind goes back to the Masters in 2024. Day was asked to remove a sweater vest which had a Malbon Golf Championship emblazoned in large letters across the front.

At the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Day made headlines again with what looked to be a full suit of jumper and sweatpants. Quite the look.

Jason Day’s Malbon Joggers

The latest evolution of golf clothing has seen the 2015 PGA Championship winner don a pair of joggers – sweatpants – for a practice round. A move that has brought plenty of discourse online from those in favour and those who’d turn their nose up at such a thing.

Other controversial looks

There was a time when golf hoodies were the only thing the golf world could talk about. Back when Tyrrell Hatton won the BMW PGA Championship in 2020. Now, most people have come to terms with hoodies being worn on the golf course.

I personally have never had a problem with a hooded jumper on the golf course, in fact the opposite. I regularly wear one for both for casual rounds and in club competitions, as I’m sure many of you do.

This is one of many occasions where a controversial clothing trend has now become a staple feature on golf courses. Even GOATs, greatest of all time, aren’t immune from fashion controversy. Tiger Woods’ sported a round neck shirt for the first time in 2003 which sparked much debate.
