Bad Birdie Shark Tank Update

Bad Birdie Shark Tank Pitch

Jason Richardson appeared on Shark Tank Season 11, Episode 18, which aired on April 3, 2020, with stylish golf polos.

Bad Birdie is listed in the Clothing Fashion category. In plain terms, the business is described as stylish golf polos.

Bad Birdie asked the Sharks for $300,000 for 10%, implying a valuation of about $3 million.

On the show, Bad Birdie made a listed deal with Robert Herjavec for $300,000 for 20%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $1.5 million implied valuation, down from the original $3 million implied valuation.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.

Bad Birdie After Shark Tank

Bad Birdie accepted an on-air deal and then built a much broader golf apparel brand after Shark Tank. The company's loud polos translated well into retail and online channels. (Bad Birdie Shark Tank update

By January 2022, follow-up reporting placed Bad Birdie in more than 1,000 retail stores, including Nordstrom, PGA Tour Superstore, and premium pro shops. By November 2023, annual revenue was estimated around $6 million to $7 million. (Bad Birdie follow-up reporting

The current official store sells men's and women's golf polos, pants, shorts, dresses, rompers, hats, and accessories, which supports the update that Bad Birdie became a full golf brand rather than one novelty shirt line. (Bad Birdie official site
