BirdieBackers

Now in public beta · 8 golfers live

Recurring support
for the golfers
who earn it.

Golfers outside the PGA Tour spread receive almost none of the support that fuels a season — entry fees, travel, coaching. BirdieBackers lets you back the golfer you actually care about on a recurring basis, and get closer to their journey than any public feed allows. Our platform fee is 8.99%; after payment processing, the rest goes to the golfer.

Three audiences

Built for the golfers the leaderboards miss

And the supporters who already noticed, and the programs that want better fan economics.

For golfers

Get paid for the work you'd do anyway.

Get paid monthly to show people what your season actually looks like. Standard deliverables at every tier, the same for every golfer. You keep 91% — after payment processing, direct to your bank.

Create your account

For supporters

Get closer than a follower ever could.

Back the golfer you actually care about — financially and emotionally — and see what a public feed rarely shows. $10, $25, or $50 a month, every tier with guaranteed content. Cancel anytime.

How it works

For programs

Drive engagement. No cost to the program.

Connect your golfers to fans who follow them from college to the mini-tours and beyond. We handle compliance and payouts. You get supporter engagement metrics that don't exist anywhere else.

How BirdieBackers works

01

Golfers sign up

Pick a tour, school, or level. Standard deliverables at every tier — the same for every golfer. Verify identity through Stripe.

02

Supporters subscribe

Pick the golfers you care about and a tier for each. Recurring monthly charge through Stripe. Cancel anytime.

03

Golfers deliver

Post supporter-only content, host quarterly hangouts, and send Captain welcome and birthday videos. Mark deliverables complete.

04

Money moves

Every charge splits atomically: 8.99% to us, Stripe processing for the rails, the rest direct to the golfer. Monthly payouts.

What we're not

Not a tip jar. Not a donation site. Not crowdfunding.

We're a marketplace. Supporters back specific golfers with recurring subscriptions in exchange for content and access the golfer commits to deliver. Golfers get the revenue and the fan relationship; we provide the rails, verification, and compliance.

Our 8.99% platform fee covers hosting, video bandwidth, customer support, compliance work, and the weekly reconciliation that keeps the books to the penny. Stripe's payment processing (2.9% + 30¢ per charge) comes off the top — that's what makes the rails run. The rest goes direct to the golfer.

The BirdieBackers journal

The real cost of chasing a PGA Tour card.

Mini-tour life isn't glamorous. Entry fees alone run $1,500–$3,000 per week. Travel, lodging, equipment, coaching — it adds up fast. Read the stories behind the golfers you're backing.

What supporters are saying

I found Marcus before he had 100 backers. Watching his season in real time — knowing I'm part of it — is something no highlight reel can replicate.

J

James T.

Denver, CO · Backer

The quarterly hangouts are the best part. Getting to ask her about a round the same week she played it is not something you get anywhere else.

R

Rachel M.

Phoenix, AZ · Eagle tier supporter

The moment Ryan made the cut at the Korn Ferry event, my phone blew up with messages from other backers. That community feeling is real.
