Alright, let’s talk about this Jason Day sponsors thing. I was watching some golf recently, just kicking back, you know. And there’s Day, lining up a putt. Solid player, always has been, Aussie guy, won the Byron Nelson way back.
But something caught my eye. His clothes. They looked different. Not the usual big brand stuff you see plastered everywhere. It had this kind of… different vibe. Made me squint at the screen a bit. What was that logo? Looked kinda cool, actually. Sort of old-school but fresh.
Finding Out the Deal
So, naturally, I got curious. Who’s he with now? You get used to seeing players associated with certain brands for years, and then suddenly, poof, it changes. I remembered him being with Nike for ages, seemed like forever. But this definitely wasn’t Nike.
I poked around online a bit during a commercial break. Just typed in something simple like “jason day new clothes sponsor”. Didn’t take long to find the answer.
- It’s Malbon Golf. Never heard of them much before, gotta be honest.
- Apparently, this switch happened pretty recently, like start of 2024. They made him their first big golf ambassador.
- Their whole thing seems to be mixing that vintage look with modern golf fashion. Makes sense now, seeing what he was wearing.
What He’s Wearing Now
Since then, I’ve paid more attention when he’s on screen. You see him in different stuff from Malbon. Sometimes it’s pretty loud, other times more toned down. That sweater vest he wore got a lot of attention, I remember seeing chatter about that.
It seems like they’re letting him show off more personality, which is interesting. Golf fashion can be pretty bland sometimes, let’s be real. So seeing a brand try something different with a top player, yeah, that’s noteworthy.
So, yeah. That was my little discovery. Started with just noticing his shirt looked different during a tournament, and ended up learning about this whole Malbon Golf partnership. Just goes to show, things change fast, even in the world of golf sponsorships.
