CBS production assistant working PGA Tour's Memorial Tournament dies after car crash

Members of the Augusta, Georgia, community are mourning the loss of Bryce Adair, who died following a car accident Wednesday in Ohio while working the PGA Tour’s Memorial Tournament as a CBS production assistant.

Adair was from Martinez, Georgia, just outside Augusta, and graduated from Lakeside High School where he played basketball. According to a CBS obituary, he went on to study communications at Valdosta State University and work there as an intramural supervisor. Two of his other career highlights include working as a Augusta National merchandiser and Augusta GreenJackets audio operator.

CBS said Adair contributed to live sports production and broadcasting operations, ensuring coverage at major sporting events ran smoothly and production standards were maintained at a high level. The company said he was known for having a consistently positive energy, reliability, and willingness to support his team.

Here were some of the memorial social media posts made by Adair’s family and friends:

• “Your smile’s the embodiment of the sun; a warmth we shall always remember.”

• “Bryce’s talent was undeniable, and the world is a little dimmer without him in it. He will be missed but never forgotten.”

• “This really broke my heart. I remember hiring him as an employee at the Family Y Prime Time. Such a kind, gentle soul. Praying for the family.”

After the accident but before his death, a friend and colleague of Adair started a GoFundMe fundraiser to help his family. It’s still taking donations and, as of publication, has over $64,000 in donations.
