That Malbon sweater Jason Day wore at the Masters was auctioned for big bucks for his foundation

That awesome/hideous ( depending on your perspective ) Malbon sweater that Jason Day wore at the Masters (and was asked to remove ) was auctioned off for $18,000.

The money is going to a good cause, too, with proceeds going to Brighter Days Foundation , a tournament and charity that Day started with his wife Ellie.

Day left Nike at the start of the year for high-end golf fashion outfit Malbon and he’s been turning heads with his fits ever since, but none more so than during Day 2 of the 2024 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.

His sweater was compared to a carton of Marlboro cigarettes, among other things, and the buzz reached epic proportions. He had to finish his first round Friday morning but before his second round, he later confirmed, he was asked to not wear it any longer.

“Yeah, they asked me to take it off, the vest off yesterday,” Day said after his second round. “Yeah, the busy one. Respectfully, you do that because it’s all about the tournament here, and I understand that. I respect the tournament. That’s what we’re here to do is try and play and win the green jacket.”

The auction winner also gets a round of golf with Day.

Brighter Day Foundation supports several Central Ohio nonprofits.
