Jason Day will opt for ‘toned down' Masters outfit as organizers check what he plans to wear at the tournament
Former world No. 1 Jason Day has said that Masters tournament organizers pre-empted any of his planned fashion statements to ensure there would be no repeat of last year's infamous sweater vest.
In fact, Augusta National asked to see what outfits Day had planned before this year's tournament, given the uproar around the bold lettering on the vest he wore last time out.
The Australian was requested to remove the sleeveless white, black and red top, which had the words 'Malbon Golf Championship' on the front, after the first round in 2024.
'If they would have let us do what we first put the scripting through to them, it would have been a lot crazier than last year. But, you know, it will be a lot less. Toned down,' Day humorously revealed about this year's outfits on a recent episode of the 'Dan on Golf' Show.
'They've never asked to see scripting of mine because I've always been pretty, you know, neutral and down the middle. This year, they asked because (of) obviously what happened last year.'
The designer of last year's sweater, Malbon Golf, made Day its first golf ambassador in January 2024. Since then, he and the lifestyle golf brand have worked together to show off his personality on the course.
Day said he simply chooses what he thinks looks good, and although he expected to get some attention, he never intended to disrespect the tournament or Augusta National.
'I think I had a sense that it was gonna go crazy just because it's just a little bit different,' said Day. 'It's literally a knit vest, right? But it just said Malbon Golf Championship on it … It doesn't take much to kind of stand out in golf because just everyone wears the same thing, essentially.
'The whole experience of Augusta is phenomenal,' he added. 'I just want to make sure that I'm not trying to do anything that's too crazy or outlandish to disrespect the tournament.'
The Masters isn't the first professional sporting event to ask an athlete to change their look. In 2018, the French Open banned Serena Williams from wearing her catsuit at future tournaments.
Then in 2021, Norway's beach handball team was fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms. Both of these decisions opened up wider conversations about gender and dress codes in sport.
And who could forget Magnus Carlsen's jeans incident at the 2024 World Rapid Chess Championship? The five-time world champion walked away from the competition after refusing to change out of jeans, which the International Chess Federation (FIDE) said breached the tournament's dress code. However, Carlsen later returned to play in the World Blitz Championship after 'fruitful' conversations with FIDE.
As for Day, he said that he does not see himself as a fashion icon. Even so, fans will have to wait for another tournament to see what statement piece he'll wear next.

Think your kids say 'Mom' a lot? This mom counted every single one—and went viral
If it feels like your name is constantly echoing through your house—you're not imagining it. Australian mom Jasmine (@flownoak on TikTok) decided to actually count how many times her kids said 'Mum' in a single day. The final number? A jaw-dropping 234 times—and that was just between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. while home with her two youngest kids. 'It was a way of quantifying and then justifying how the constant interruption was feeling,' Jasmine told 'It was the classic, 'Dad, where's Mum? I need her to get my water bottle' kind of day.' Never mind that her husband was also home and perfectly capable of handing over a water bottle. She used a handheld clicker counter to keep track and casually told her family she was 'counting some stuff.' By 8:50 a.m., she was already at 88. At lunchtime, the number had jumped to 127. By the late afternoon? 181. She shared it all in a now-viral TikTok that's been viewed over 852,000 times. 'So we wonder why mums are sick of hearing their name—234 times today,' she says in the video, collapsed in bed and still wearing her bathrobe. 'Also, just did some quick math: If that's the daily average number in one year, I'm hearing it 85,410 times. Goodnight.' Jasmine's TikTok turned into a communal sigh of relief for overstimulated moms who, like me, sometimes feel their brain short-circuit after the 87th 'MOM!' before 10 a.m. 'The limit does not exist!' – @breepeaa 'It's the equivalent of receiving 234 emails that need immediate attention and the majority of those emails result in tantrums. Exhausting!' – @ 'On Mother's Day, I asked only for my name to not be mentioned for a single day. They did it. What a glorious day.' – @appydancer0 But buried in the laughter is something that feels… deeper. As Jasmine explained, her goal was to put numbers to the constant stream of mental interruptions that quietly wear moms down—something many parents feel but rarely quantify. The part of motherhood that doesn't show up on a to-do list but erodes your patience nonetheless. 'It feels good to have it quantified when we can't really put a monetary value on the work we do,' she said. The video hit hard because it surfaced what so many moms quietly carry: That being the default parent means being summoned constantly—for snacks, shoes, school forms, you name it. That the mental load isn't just the tasks, it's the interruptions. That loving your kids doesn't mean you want to be needed every 3 minutes on a loop. Related: This mom's viral TikTok perfectly sums up 'default parent resentment'—and yes, it's REAL Not everyone responded with empathy. Some accused Jasmine of being ungrateful:' it's hard being in a privileged position. imagine all the women who can't have kids who never hear that. I wonder how they feel?' wrote @Don't React, Think!. But Jasmine's response was full of grace and truth. 'What these people don't realize is that I had a baby stillborn when I was 32 weeks pregnant,' she shared. 'So I know intimately the pain of never having your child say your name. Two things are allowed to be true at the same time: I can be immensely grateful and sick of the repetition.' That part. We can hold both. The heartbreak and the overstimulation. The gratitude and the resentment. The deep love and the desperate craving for five uninterrupted minutes to pee alone. Maternal mental health experts often talk about sensory burnout, a kind of overstimulation that happens when you're constantly touched, talked to, and needed. Research published in Frontiers in Psychiatry confirms what many moms already feel: chronic interruptions, multitasking, and emotional labor are major contributors to burnout in mothers. So what can we do? Jasmine encourages parents to talk to their partners—and teach kids that not every need requires 'Mum.' 'Encourage your children to do what you and they are comfortable with for themselves,' she said. 'This not only builds confidence in them, but may also reduce … the amount of times you are called.' Some other ideas for reducing the 'Mum tally': Create a 'Mom-free' hour where another adult is in charge or the kids know to go to their 'second in command.' Use a 'Mom token' system where kids get a set number of 'Mum calls' per hour—it makes them pause and think before they shout. Give kids scripts for what to do when they need help but can figure it out themselves: 'If you can reach it, you can try first!' Related: Moms are the 'default parent' because society doesn't give us any other option We've been conditioned to think that being constantly needed equals being a good parent. But being constantly interrupted isn't sustainable. It's okay to want space. It's okay to say 'not right now.' It's okay to count to 234—and decide that tomorrow, you'd like to aim lower. And it doesn't make you less loving. It makes you human.

Emma Raducanu knocked out at Eastbourne as fightback falls short
Emma Raducanu's attempt at a miraculous recovery against Maya Joint fell just short as she exited the Eastbourne Open. The British number one looked dead and buried in her second-round battle with the Australian, trailing 5-2 in the deciding set. Advertisement But she produced an inspired spell, breaking Joint three times when she was serving for the match, to set up a tiebreak. Victory was in sight when she got a mini-break to lead 4-3 but Joint reeled off four successive points to claim a 4-6 6-1 7-6 (4) victory and move into the quarter-finals. Raducanu revealed on Tuesday after her opening round win that she had received 'some pretty bad news' and that perhaps affected her as she seemed subdued on court and looked increasingly leggy in the deciding set. The 22-year-old will now head to London where she will prepare for her SW19 campaign, the scene of her 2021 breakthrough. Advertisement She lost the opening two games of the match but battled back to gain control, breaking twice to take the opening set 6-4. Then things started to go wrong as Joint, ranked 51 in the world, found her groove and won 11 out of the next 14 games to put herself on the brink of victory. But there is nothing as hard as getting over the finish line and Raducanu sensed nerves. She broke on Joint's first attempt to serve it out and then, after holding her own delivery, did it again to level at 5-5. A see-saw contest continued to give and Joint recomposed herself to break Raducanu and serve for the match for the third time at 6-5. Advertisement But Raducanu sent it into a tiebreak where she took the lead at 4-3 on serve. Joint steeled herself again, winning four consecutive points and sealing it with an ace. She said: 'Today was really tough, there was a lot of ups and downs, I was happy I was able to tough it out at the end. Jodie Burrage failed to take match points (Adam Davy/PA) 'I am really glad I was able to win this match.' Jodie Burrage become the second Briton in two days to miss match points to oust former Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova. Twenty four hours after Harriet Dart spurned victory, Burrage, the world number 161, was 40-0 up on the Czech's serve at 6-5 in the deciding set, but she could not get over the line, with Krejcikova winning the tiebreak. In the men's draw, lucky loser Billy Harris continued to take advantage of his reprieve, winning 6-3 6-4 against Mattia Bellucci.
