“Totally dig it” – Peyton Manning, Chris Pratt approves of Jason Day’s ‘boxer’ shorts at Memorial Tournament Pro-Am despite criticism from fans

Jason Day continued to make headlines for his unique fashion choices at this week's Memorial Tournament. The Aussie opted to wear "boxer" shorts during the pro-am event of the tournament on Wednesday, June 5.

On the other hand, NFL legend Peyton Manning and actor Chris Pratt were highly impressed with the outfit and praised it. Day shared a video of the Memorial Tournament Pro-Am event on his Instagram account, in which he wore boxer shorts. In the clip, Manning and Pratt expressed admiration for Day's clothing.

"Totally dig it," said Manning.

"I think his outfit is fire," Pratt said.

Jason Day signed a deal with Malbon Golf and became its first ambassador at the start of 2024. Since then, he has been making headlines for his clothing. His unique fashion always grabs attention at every tournament.

During the Wells Fargo Championship 2024, he wore a white and brown checked shirt with plain white pants. Earlier this year, during the Masters, his puffy pants became the talk of the town.

Day's clothing resembles more of the 90s fashion, but the golfer flaunts it proudly on the golf course. His vest jacket during the Masters was a hot topic of conversation.

In most tournaments this year, the Aussie's pants have been the highlight. Although golfers are strictly prohibited from wearing shorts during official events, they can wear them during practice rounds.

Thus, Jason Day donned shorts on Tuesday and Wednesday (June 4 and 5) for the practice and pro-am rounds of the 2024 Memorial Tournament. The event will officially begin on Thursday, June 6, at the Muirfield Village Golf Club.
