And there is no better tool to do that than the highly sophisticated Whoop wearable fitness device you may have seen many pros and pundits alike sporting at Augusta National ahead of the Masters.

Such is the data available that it is now possible to find out exactly how the best players in the world are feeling at any given moment, provided they are a Whoop wearer.

For example, it was a heart-in-mouth moment for Justin Thomas as his ball looked destined to find the water at the 72nd hole of the PLAYERS Championship, and the 27-year-old's heart rate reflected that.

He would go on to win, turning in a performance his device showed he was primed for. The American was well recovered throughout the week, in particular ahead of his Saturday 64.

It's no surprise then to see them out in force at Augusta National. At perhaps no other venue in world golf are players tested as strenuously, both physically and mentally.

It was one of the factors behind Dylan Frittelli's improved showing at last year's Masters, as the South African posted an 11-under total good enough for a fifth-place finish alongside Rory McIlroy.

The 30-year-old was able to tailor his training in order to peak for the November event so, despite missing the cut the previous week, Frittelli knew he was in good shape to produce his best golf on the grandest stage.
