Masters officials have asked Jason Day to tone down his outfits for the 2025 tournament following his eye-catching attire last year.
The former PGA Championship winner has revealed he now needs to get clearance for his clothing choices, a departure from previous years.
Day, 37, caught attention in 2024 with bold fashion statements at Augusta National that apparently crossed a line for tournament organisers.
The Australian golfer disclosed that officials have requested to review his planned outfits before this year's prestigious event.

Day drew criticism from golf fans for his bold fashion choices at Augusta last April.
He sported a striking Malbon Golf sweater featuring large black and red writing that stood out on the course.
His look was completed with notably baggy slacks, creating an ensemble that departed from traditional Masters attire.
The outfit was so controversial that Day was even asked to remove his loud sweater during the tournament itself.
His fashion choices clearly made enough of an impression to prompt new oversight from tournament officials.

Speaking on the Dan on Golf podcast, Day explained the change in approach from tournament officials.
"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," he said.
"But it'll be toned down - they asked to see the scripting before."
Day noted this was a new development in his Masters experience.
"The funny thing was that they never asked to see scripting of mine because I've always been pretty neutral and down the middle," he added.

"This year they asked because obviously what happened last year."
In a separate interview with Golf.com, Day elaborated on the approval process for his 2025 Masters wardrobe.
"So we have to get clearance on the scripting this year," he explained.
"To Malbon's credit, they've got some bold stuff, but I'm not sure if it'll pass.
"So we'll see how it goes- hopefully they will say yes. If not, then we'll be going back to the drawing board and trying to come up with something different."

Day told reporters that he was asked to remove his sweater during last year's tournament.
"Respectfully, you do that because it's all about the tournament here," the 37-year-old said.
"I understand that. I respect the tournament.
"That's what we're here to do is try and play and win the green jacket."
Day's best finish at the Masters came in 2011 when he tied for second place.

Last year, he finished in a tie for 30th position at Augusta National.
The Australian has accumulated four top-ten finishes at the prestigious tournament throughout his career.
His most recent strong showing was a tie for fifth in 2019, the same year Tiger Woods memorably claimed the green jacket.
Day will be hoping his revised wardrobe choices won't distract from his performance as he seeks to improve on his Masters record.
