A PGA Tour pro is in Atlanta, prepping for the Tour Championship, the last leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs. The fantastic PGA Tour season will end for a while with this tournament. But his new season is just starting, and his wife shows immense enduring capabilities in these trying times. It reminds us of the confessions made by Jena Sims.

The Australian golfer will begin this tour at one under par and nine shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler. Another tricky number in his life is 12. It’s the exact number of days his wife is due to give birth to their fifth child. The pro golfer reveals what his wife had to say to him because he potentially will miss the birth of his child.

The PGA Tour pro’s potential miss

Back in 2012, during the Open Championship, Jason Day missed his firstborn’s birth. While the due date is in September for his fifth child, the Aussie golfer is contemplating hypothetical scenarios. His third child, Arrow, came two weeks early in 2021.

Concerning that, the couple considered Jason rushing home in the middle of the tour if the delivery date pre-pones. But his wife, Ellie Day, put his mind at ease. NUCLR GOLF, on Twitter (now X), posted a picture of the family and a dialogue with the golfer.

It read, “Jason Day says his wife told him to keep playing the TOUR Championship in the event that she goes into labour during the tournament. “You’re not likely to make it back in time if I do go into labor, Day recalled his wife saying. We’re having a home birth. She said I may as well just play the tournament and try to win.” Day and his wife are expecting their 5th child in the near future, per @GolfDigest”

Winning, however, is a tricky subject for Jason Day at the Tour Championship. He sits at a nine-shot deficit and is tied at the 21st position on the leaderboard. However, the soon-to-be father added a feat under his belt this year by winning Byron Nelson for his 13th PGA Tour title.

Shifting the focus to what Ellie Day said, the hardships of having a career that constantly requires one partner to be away is quite evident. While Jason Day vies to be with his family in these delicate yet beautiful times, his wife supports his game. Companionship proves to be important in the functioning of these hectic careers. Earlier, Jena Sims and Brooks Koepka opened up about the same.

Jena Sims was very vocal about her pregnancy struggles

Jena Sims and Brooks Koepka welcomed their baby boy Crew, four weeks earlier. The journey of Sims’ pregnancy was a beautiful start. The couple announced the news on Koepka’s birthday, and the golf world showered a lot of love and blessings. But it did not end well.

One of the fears that Jason Day expressed came true for Koepka. His child was six weeks premature and was kept in the NICU for 20 days. Now that the baby is home, Sims is reveling in the new role of her life and celebrating as well. However, for most of her pregnancy, she was alone. And the couple did not spare one detail about the agony of going through that.

In her recent Instagram Live, Sims conversed with fellow SI Swimsuit model Sharina Gutierrez. During the session, Jena admitted being nervous about walking her first swimwear show as a pregnant woman. But in a wholesome response then, the squad made her feel more welcome than ever.

Earlier, she also interviewed about how she feels about being pregnant. She opened up about Koepka’s busy schedule and his physical absence despite his best efforts. FaceTime calls were the medium to communicate outcomes of doctor’s appointments during the journey. Ellie Day and Jena Sims have been vocal and enduring about the struggles that come with their circumstances. How do you feel about them?
