"Forgot his pants"- Golf fans react to Jason Day's $120 shorts that look like 'boxers'
In preparation for the 2024 Memorial Tournament, Jason Day is at Muirfield Village Golf Club. Day performed his practice run on Wednesday, June 5, while donning somewhat unusual-looking shorts that cost $120.
They are a loose-fitting, plaid-patterned garment that falls above the knee. Social media users have expressed their delight at Jason Day's shorts with numerous comments.
While some users have praised Jason Day's new outfit choice, the majority of users have responded to it with jokes.
One X (formerly Twitter) user had this to say:
“Guy forgot his pants so he wore his boxers.”
Prominent golf influencer Paige Spiranac is one of the people who celebrated Jason Day's look on X, posting the following:
"I think this look [on fire]"
Let's take a look at some other reactions on X:
"Best fit on tour and it ain't even close," one user posted.
"They look like a pair of boxer underwear," another fan wrote.
"Well, he lives just down the street from Muirfield Village, probably just woke up and thought he was going to get coffee...," another user said.
Jason Day signed a contract with Malbon Golf at the start of 2024, and the company sponsors his wardrobe. Since then, the Australian has garnered attention on multiple occasions for his peculiar attire, including vests, sweatpants, and baggy pants.
