We all have good fashion days and bad ones, but PGA Tour golfer Jason Day’s Sunday at Pebble Beach will be a day that will live in golf infamy.
Without an iota of shame, the usually stylish Australian golfer wore a grey sweatshirt and sweatpants outfit at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California, disgracing himself and a great tradition in golf: that you dress with some class when you hit the links, whether you are a professional or an uncoordinated goober who can’t even hit a ball 15 yards down the pock-marked, municipal fairway.

🚨💀⛳️ #LOUNGING AT PEBBLE — Jason Day is playing his final round in a full sweat suit, including pants that are tied.
Is this professional or has he pushed it too far?

There’s a time and place for everything, with one exception: there’s never a time and place for sweatshirts and sweatpants on a golf course. Ever.
Even if you are on a boys’ golf trip in Scottsdale, Arizona, and you spent the previous night doing an ungodly amount of sake bombs with the local homeless man, Frank, you still show up to the links the next morning with at least a polo shirt. You don’t even have to tuck it in unless you are at a ritzy country club with rich people who will chide you if it’s flapping free out of your pants or shorts.
There was maybe one time I wore a t-shirt to a golf course, and I felt like an absolute schlub. I also played one of the worst rounds of my life; didn’t even make one par.
They say you should dress for success. On the links, you should dress for championship golf and Sunday birdies.
