NUCLR Golf uploaded an image of Fowler in his camo outfit on X which led to several reactions. One user reacted to this image by calling it 'atrocious.' The user wrote:

"Nowhere to be seen. All I see is a black belt, sunglasses, and some white shoes," wrote another user.

"All I see is a pair of really white shoes and a putter standing up on it's own somehow." one user wrote.

"Well at least Jason Day will get a break from the fashion police this week." wrote one user.

"Trying way too hard to be the cool dude and/or getting paid too much to look stupid. Aka, Jason Day." a user wrote.
