Over 1,000 Whoop straps have been sent to the PGA Tour for players, caddies and officials to wear
PGA Tour Players To Wear Whoop Bands To Stop Covid-19 Spread
PGA Tour players Nick Watney and Cameron Champ have both tested positive for Covid-19 since Friday, as has Graeme McDowell's caddie.
Nick Watney's whoop band was showing some unusual signs and that was what made him get a test, which ultimately turned out positive.
“It’s crazy to say, but [if not for] his Whoop device, we could have been screwed right now because he could have played the rest of the week and ended up contaminating or infecting many other people and we could have been behind the 8-ball severely," Justin Thomas said.
"I can confirm that the PGA Tour has procured over 1,000 WHOOP Straps for all @PGATOUR, @KornFerryTour, and @ChampionsTour players, caddies, media and essential workers to help prevent the spread of COVID-19," he wrote on social media.
"We are rapidly onboarding everyone in the PGA Tour universe as of yesterday and respect the measures that they are taking to keep the Tour safe."
The bands are said to collect "physiological data 24/7 to provide the most accurate and granular understanding of your body."
