 Aussies have no fashion sense, right @Shorty?  

 

 

I respectfully offer this photo of Sir Les Patterson, Australia's Cultural attache, as a strong rebuttal.

But seriously, I think players have more attachment to sponsors than to the standards others would prefer them to have.

I don't think Nike will be complaining.

I find that I'm incapable of refuting that rebuttal.

A collar shirt would have made sense to me, but then again, who is to say a baseball cap is appropriate to even receive the trophy? not very classy either. Just playing devils advocate here. I'm not offended by any of it though. 

Times have changed ask Ricky Fowler, or Michelle Wie.

smart casual is a phrase i hear a lot,when talking about dress code on the course.Or around it for this matter. that means different things to different people. jason looks fine to me,not smart. but not scruffy. as a newer golfer dress code is something that surprises me at a coulpe of the clubs ive played at,again smart casual is down to how the individual interprets it.

Where do you even find a tie that wide?

Sorry, I don't see the problem. At least he wasn't wearing this

I have no issues with it. He didn't look ragged with what he was wearing. 

Im not certain the PGA Tour has a dress code for the golfers after the tournament. 

It sounds a bit old fashioned to me to say he needs to be wearing dress pants and a polo. I think his choice of clothes there is better than the stuff the tour let John Daly wear the past few years with the loud pants. 

 

+1. Like other "classic" sports, it needs to evolve or become an elite niche activity. Golf can evolve without completely losing its heritage, if all camps will give an inch (why does that sound familiar).

I am certain there was no disrespect on Day's part but now that I take another look I know that I would have brought an extra polo for the trophy presentation.  Not horrible, but I would class it up a bit.

Day could been wearing a thong speedo and a bow tie and i dont care Si Woo Kim would've cared if as long as he was handing him that trophy.

I think it would have been more appropriate if he'd had on a golf shirt, but its really not something I'm going to get upset about.  Jason Day in a T-shirt looks better than I do in a tux!
