Jason Day (birth name: Jason Anthony Day) is a professional golf player from Australia. Day turned pro in 2006 and began playing in the PGA Tour immediately. He secured his first win in his third season (2010) at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

He held his #1 position the following year after winning three events, including The Players Championship. In 2016, Day was honored with the Mark H. McCormack Award. After battling poor form in the following years, he won the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, returning to the top 20 in the world rankings.
