Billionaire investor and entrepreneur Mark Cuban offered San Francisco-based BucketGolf an unexpected investment on Friday’s episode of ABC’s…

The San Francisco-based company BucketGolf, run by brother-and-sister duo Tyler and Jenny Simmons, sells a game that resembles golf, with foldable buckets as holes that can be placed wherever the players choose.The company was on track to bring in more than $12 million in 2024 sales at the time of the episode's taping, said Tyler Simmons, the company's CEO and founder — up from $5.9 million in 2023 and $2.5 million in 2022.

Former Apple exec felt ‘incredibly insecure' switching industries—her No. 1 piece of advice for gaining confidence in a new job "I don't say I hate golf — I haven't tried it enough. I hate the concept of it," John told the BucketGolf duo."But this, I can actually see that I would like it, that I can say to my friends and family, 'Come on over. We'll play that.'", spoke up last — offering the siblings $1 million for 15% of BucketGolf, noticeably less equity than his peers wanted."He always undercuts us. He sits and waits until the last moment," Greiner quipped.

"I agree. That's why I made the offer," Cuban told the Simmonses. He seemed ready to stand firm until Greiner jumped in and agreed to the siblings' desired terms. Cuban chose to match it, and the siblings ultimately accepted Cuban's offer.
