The former world number one, who won eight events in two years between 2015 and 2016, is now ranked 41st in the Official World Golf Rankings, and is winless since 2023. After years of battling chronic back pain that threatened his career, Day underwent a total swing overhaul.
This shift toward a more body-friendly, upright motion led him to discover Avoda Golf, famously also linked with Bryson DeChambeau. Day was drawn to Avoda’s iron set, which utilises a unique same-length philosophy attributed to DeChambeau. By keeping the shaft lengths and lie angles identical for these clubs, Day achieved a more consistent posture and strike, reducing physical strain.
But even since switching to Avoda, Day explained that he has had serious struggles finding the right clubs for him.

He said that he’s finally found the right fit with his irons after some serious struggles.
Speaking after his second round, the 2015 PGA Championship winner said, “I said earlier that I went back to first-generation iron from Avoda. Tom had it right the first time. The guy that built them for me.
