JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Vijay Singh wasn’t checking the time on his wrist obsessively during Furyk & Friends at Timuquana Country Club because he had an important date after the round. Rather, he was wearing a golf swing analyzer on his wrist called deWiz, which measures swing data in real time such as length of backswing, tempo and transition.
The device, which is being used within the Rules of Golf and received approval from PGA Tour rules officials to be worn in tournament play, was used by Singh, an investor in the company, at the PGA Tour Champions event and marked the first time the wearable technology was put in play on a major global tour.
