According to the ESPN Masters broadcast, Day re-injured his back before the first round of the 2019 Masters. The 2017 PGA champ aggravated the area by picking up his daughter, Lucy.
After bogeying the first hole at Augusta National, cameras caught Day receiving treatment on his back, laying on the second tee box as a trainer attempted to stretch him out.

Jason Day gets treated off the second hole at #theMasters by his trainer Dr Stuey Love. Then hits 278-yard shot into the par 5 and two putts for birdie. Definitely keeps me on my toes as an Aussie golf writer

Earlier this year on the Sunday before the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Day woke up with back pain that made it difficult for him to walk. An MRI later revealed a disc tear.
After receiving injections in his back, Day took his family on a trip to DisneyWorld in Orlando. A photo of Day’s family on the trip that circulated on social media caused many people to criticize his decision to WD from the Arnold Palmer.

When you have a bad back and you’re a professional athlete, it might be time to never pick up your kid again.
That’s just the price you’ll have to pay if you want to continue making millions playing golf.
