Sepp Straka squeezes in bucket-list round between Truist win and PGA Championship
Sepp Straka will roll into Quail Hollow Club this week as the recent champion of the Truist Championship, having captured the $20 million signature event on Sunday at Philadelphia Cricket Club for his second title of the season. But first, he'll enjoy his birthday present. Straka's regular caddie, Duane Bock, who did not loop at the Truist because of a back injury, recently gifted his boss a round of Pine Valley Golf Club, the top-ranked course located outside of Philly in Clementon, New Jersey. Straka revealed the bucket-list round on Monday's Dan on Golf Show with Dan Rapaport, saying he'll tee it up there on Monday morning before flying to Charlotte, North Carolina later in the day. Win a signature event ➡️ Pine Valley ➡️ PGA Championship What a stretch for @seppstraka. Tune into Dan on Golf LIVE today at 1pm ET. 'That's going to be a pretty special stretch,' Straka said. 'I don't know if I'm going to be able to beat that through my golf career.' Considering Monday's washout at Quail Hollow, where fans weren't allowed on the grounds in anticipation of nearly 2 inches of rain, Straka might be the only player getting in some holes to start the week.

Jason Day asked to tone down Masters attire after unconventional clothing choice last year
Jason Day made headlines last year at the Masters with his unconventional attire during the first round. This year, the powers that be at Augusta National Golf Club asked that he tone down his look. Day, a 13-time PGA Tour winner and the winner of the 2015 PGA Championship, revealed this week that he was asked to remove his controversial sweater vest at last year's Masters, during a round in which he was partnered with Tiger Woods. "We just put it on and then [it] kinda went crazy," Day recalled during an appearance on the "Dan on Golf" podcast. "It doesn't take much to kind of stand out in golf because just everyone wears the same thing essentially." Day is an ambassador for Malbon Golf, a golf apparel company based out of Los Angeles, and the duo came up with the idea for him to wear a unique sweater vest that had the words "Malbon Golf Champion" in big red and black letters sprawled across the front. During the round, Day got word that someone from the tournament asked that he remove the piece of clothing, which he obliged. "My agent got a call from high above and said, 'Hey, we need Jason to take that vest off.'" Day said the issue last year prompted the tournament to request an early look at what his plans for this year's Masters were, and unsurprisingly, the initial plans got axed. "It would've been a lot crazier than last year." The Australian golfer said he wouldn't classify himself as a style icon, but he certainly does like to push the limits. "I kind of like teetering on the edge of traditional golf and taking it to the line and then bringing it back." "I'm not here to step on anyone's toes because I know that when we play the Masters, it's all about the Masters — it always has been about the tournaments," he said. "The whole experience of Augusta is phenomenal. I just want to make sure that I'm not trying to do anything that's too crazy or outlandish to disrespect the tournament. I always try and be as respectful as possible." Fans will have to wait until 9:58 a.m. ET on Thursday to see what Day has planned. He'll play his first round alongside three-time Masters winner Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley.

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.
