The opening round of the 88th Masters was prematurely halted on Thursday evening due to fading light, yet it wasn’t without its highlights, notably Jason Day’s attire.
Day donned what looked like parachute pants at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia, drawing considerable attention. The unique style of Day’s pants did not go unnoticed on social media platform X, where fans quickly picked up on their distinctive flapping in the breeze as Day prepared his shots.
The comments and jokes about his unusual choice of pants flowed effortlessly.

Some spectators expressed concerns that the billowing pants might distract Day during play. In a sport where outcomes can hinge on minute details, having pants that catch the wind could potentially disrupt a player’s concentration.
Adding to the spectacle was Day’s grouping with Tiger Woods, which drew even more eyes. Observers mused that Woods might have felt a twinge of nostalgia seeing Day’s pants, reminiscent of styles he himself wore during his prime.
The day’s standout story was the visibility gained by Malbon, the high-end golf apparel company. Having recently appointed Day as its first PGA Tour ambassador, the brand’s decision seemed vindicated by the buzz created around his outfit. Thursday marked the beginning of a carefully curated wardrobe plan Malbon has set for Day during the tournament.
Despite the interruptions, including a nearly three-hour rain delay, Day was on par through 13 holes when play was suspended. As the tournament is set to continue on Friday, anticipation builds not just for the golf but also for what Day’s wardrobe might unveil next.
