“Knowing what goes into my body that can help, and how insanely important rest and sleep are,” Thomas continued. “Because of wearing my whoop over the years I know what things work for me and what doesn’t.

A fitness tracking wearable brand since 2011, WHOOP provides holistic data and in-depth analysis, which is the need of the hour for athletes. Golf pros have started taking notice too, with a range of players partnering with the brand.

Notably, the tracker can also detect COVID-19 before the symptoms kick in, as was evident when PGA Tour golfer, Nick Watney, discovered mid-tournament at the RBC Heritage that he had COVID, despite a negative result before the contest began.

Seeing the popularity and success of the brand, the PGA Tour announced a multi-year partnership naming WHOOP as the Official Fitness Wearable of the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions and a sponsor of PGA TOUR Active. This collaboration will also provide exclusive content with professional golfers talking about the brand. Recently, Justin Thomas was seen in a promotional videos series with Michael Phelps, which was sponsored by WHOOP.
