Prior to the events of The Secret of Monkey Island, Governor Horatio Marley and his crew embarked on a journey to find Big Whoop. Threepwood learned from cartographer Wally B.

Some of the earliest references to the word "whoop," and what I would argue are the relevant references to "big whoop," were unfortunately racist references to Native American war cries. References to "war whoops" and "savage whoops" are not hard to find in 19th-century newspapers in the United States and earlier. In nationalist white sentiment, the idea of a "big whoop" therefore came to mean "a big cry," or a big deal made of something, usually which was being mocked.

OED confirms this angle on the term "whoop":

a. An act of whooping; a cry of ‘whoop!’, or a shout or call resembling this; spec. as used in hunting, esp. at the death of the game, or by N. American Indians, etc. as a signal or war-cry (see also war-whoop n.); occasionally the hoot of an owl.

Early newspaper references to a "big whoop" express this mocking intent. First a headline picture, then a snippet from an article in the same print.

Just previous to the party leaving Benton, news was brought to that fort that the British troops had entered the "Whoop-up" country, and that trouble with the American trappers there was imminent.

The term meaning "a big deal" in a sarcastic or mocking way caught on so rapidly and with such strength that most users of the phrase today have little awareness of its origin. Today, "big whoop," as the other answers and the original post indicate, simply means "big deal," sarcastically.
