How do I connect WHOOP to VectorGOLF.ai?

Sign in to VectorGOLF.ai, open your dashboard, go to Player Profile, then API Access and Integrations. Use Connect WHOOP to complete WHOOP OAuth in the browser. You can disconnect at any time from the same section.

Is VectorGOLF.ai affiliated with WHOOP or the PGA TOUR?

VectorGOLF.ai is an independent analytics product. WHOOP is the official fitness wearable partner of the PGA TOUR; we display WHOOP partnership branding for context. Your WHOOP account relationship remains with WHOOP.

Does VectorGOLF.ai write data back to WHOOP?

The integration is read-focused: we request scopes to read recovery, cycles, sleep, workout, and basic profile so we can show summaries in your dashboard. We do not replace WHOOP as your system of record.

Do I need a VectorGOLF PRO subscription to use WHOOP?

WHOOP connection is available to signed-in players when the feature is enabled on your account and the API is configured. Subscription tiers for launch monitor and scorecard features are described on the dashboard; see Subscription and Billing after sign-in.

How golfers use WHOOP with VectorGOLF.ai

Q: How do golfers use WHOOP day to day?

Most golfers use WHOOP like any athlete: wear it consistently, watch recovery and sleep before important rounds or heavy range blocks, and use strain to understand load from walking 18, practice, or simulator time. WHOOP does not replace swing coaching; it adds context for how hard you trained and how rested you are. VectorGOLF.ai can optionally display that context next to your golf data after you connect.

Q: What WHOOP data does VectorGOLF.ai show?

After you connect, VectorGOLF.ai can display recovery scores, daily strain from cycles (including steps and energy when WHOOP returns them), sleep performance and duration, and a seven-day readiness-style summary aligned to your profile time zone. Launch monitor and scorecard analytics stay separate; WHOOP adds physiological context.

If you are searching for how to use your WHOOP for golf, the short answer is: treat it like load and recovery telemetry—sleep, strain from walking 18 or sim time, and green, yellow, or red recovery days—then decide how hard to train or play. VectorGOLF.ai adds an optional link so that same story sits next to your launch monitor and scorecard analytics (not inside the WHOOP app).

WHOOP is the official fitness wearable of the PGA TOUR. VectorGOLF.ai surfaces that partnership where we show WHOOP summaries; your membership and device relationship stay with WHOOP.

How to use your WHOOP device as a golfer

Wear it on golf days and practice days alike. Strain from a walking round, a long range session, or repeated simulator swings shows up in your day strain; pairing that with sleep and recovery helps many players notice patterns—heavy load before a tournament round, short sleep before an early tee time, and so on.

WHOOP does not measure club path or spin. It is not a launch monitor. It complements ball-flight and scorecard analytics by answering a different question: Am I rested enough to execute what I already know how to do? Coaches sometimes use that alongside technical stats; always follow qualified medical advice for health decisions.

Why connect WHOOP to VectorGOLF.ai? After you link accounts, the dashboard can show a readiness strip and seven-day summary in the same place you already review golf weather, so “feel” and “numbers” stay in one workflow for sim golfers and serious amateurs.

What you see in VectorGOLF.ai

After OAuth, the dashboard can show a WHOOP readiness hub above your player header: a seven-day strip aligned to the same local calendar dates as your golf weather forecast, plus expandable rings and sleep detail when data is available from WHOOP.

Recovery — score and state from WHOOP recovery records when scored.
Strain & cycles — daily strain from cycle data; steps and kilojoules when WHOOP includes them on scored cycles.
Sleep — performance percentage, duration, nap handling, and score state when returned by the WHOOP API.
Time zone — daily buckets use your player profile location (ZIP / city) to resolve an IANA time zone when possible, with a documented UTC fallback.

This is physiological context, not a replacement for launch monitor metrics. Your D-Plane, carry, spin, and scorecard Strokes Gained workflows are unchanged; WHOOP answers “how recovered / how hard did you load” next to “how did you strike it.”

How connection works

Create or sign in to your VectorGOLF.ai account (Google).
Open Dashboard → Player Profile → API Access & Integrations.
Choose Connect WHOOP, complete WHOOP’s OAuth screen, and approve the requested read scopes (including offline refresh).
Use Disconnect in the same block to revoke access and remove stored tokens from VectorGOLF.ai.

If WHOOP is not yet configured on the API you are hitting, the dashboard shows a clear “not configured” message for operators; production on vectorgolf.ai uses the live Worker and D1 profile store.

Data, scopes, and storage

VectorGOLF.ai requests WHOOP OAuth scopes for offline refresh and read access to recovery, cycles, sleep, workout, and basic profile so we can display summaries and keep tokens fresh. Tokens and connection metadata are stored per player in our database; we do not sell WHOOP data. For general data handling, see our Privacy Policy.

Roadmap: copy on the dashboard notes that round-level overlays and automated sync jobs may follow; this page will be updated as capabilities ship.
