The PGA Tour will use Whoop fitness straps to show the heart rates and other biometric data of players “during defining moments throughout the season,” it announced. The new project could provide interesting data for golf fans by showing which players control their physiology best under pressure.
The Tour had already distributed around 1,000 of the devices to players on the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour and PGA TOUR Champions circuits. On top of helping players monitor their fitness, data from the strap may have indirectly identified the first case of COVID-19 on tour with player Nick Watney. “They ve done studies where, if your respiratory rate goes up during the night. that s sort of a telltale sign that you might have something,” said major champ Rory McIlroy back in June. “It was actually his Whoop that told [Watney] his respiratory rate went up, and that s why he thought maybe he could have it.”

If you re a sports fan, you may have noticed athletes including Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt, and tennis phenom Maria Sharapova wearing the same, screenless band on their wrist. It s a health-monitoring device called the Whoop Strap, and none of these athletes are paid spokespeople or investors. Originally designed for professional and college athletes, the Whoop has evolved since its 2015 debut into a consumer-friendly device and service meant for anyone trying to set and accomplish a health-related goal.
The third-generation Whoop Strap (free with a monthly membership) goes beyond fitness tracking to monitor your daily strain, sleep, and recovery, and its companion app offers personalized coaching to help you optimize your training and shut eye. Its subscription-based pricing model makes it an ongoing investment, but the Whoop becomes more useful over time, offering data-packed performance assessment reports eve
