Simple by design
How BirdieBackers works
Four steps. No surprises. Real, fixed support for real golfers.
Golfers sign up
Pick a tour, school, or level. Standard deliverables at every tier — the same for every golfer. Verify identity through Stripe.
Supporters subscribe
Pick the golfers you care about and a tier for each — $10, $25, or $50. Recurring monthly charge through Stripe. Cancel anytime.
Golfers deliver
Post supporter-only content, host quarterly hangouts, and send Captain welcome and birthday videos. Mark deliverables complete.
Money moves
Every charge splits atomically: 8.99% to us, Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢) for the rails, the rest direct to the golfer. Monthly payouts.
Three tiers. Fixed deliverables.
The same minimums from every golfer, so you always know what you're backing.

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.
Common questions
Is this a tip jar, donation, or crowdfunding?
No. BirdieBackers is a marketplace. Supporters back specific golfers with recurring subscriptions in exchange for content and access the golfer commits to deliver — the same fixed deliverables at every tier, for every golfer.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All subscriptions are month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your supporter dashboard with no cancellation fees.
Where does my money go?
Every charge splits automatically: our 8.99% platform fee, Stripe's payment processing (2.9% + 30¢), and the rest direct to the golfer's bank account, monthly. On a $25/month subscription, that's $21.72 to the golfer, $2.25 platform fee, ~$1.03 to Stripe.
What happens if a golfer doesn't deliver?
Their payout for that period is held, not lost. If they catch up, it releases. If it stays uncured for 60 days, supporters are refunded for that period. See our Refund Policy for the full details.
Can golfers apply to join the platform?
Yes. Aspiring professionals, mini-tour golfers, and college golfers turning pro can apply through the golfer sign-up flow. All profiles are reviewed before going live. Free to join, non-exclusive.
