‘CBS Sports’ production assistant dies after car crash while covering Memorial Tournament in Dublin

Bryce Adair, a 31 year-old production assistant for CBS Sports has died after being involved in a single-car crash on May 31.

During the CBS broadcast of the PGA Tour Memorial Tournament, commentator Jim Nantz delivered an emotional segment sharing the news of Adair’s death.

“Be patient with us for a minute here,” Nantz said in the tribute, his voice audibly shaking. “A huge loss earlier today within our CBS Sports family. Trust me when I tell you that in over 40 years I have never seen our crew of 250 people coming to a broadcast like this one carrying as much grief as they are now.”

A GoFundMe page created for Adair late last week described the incident as “a horrific single car accident,” and noted he received treatment at Riverside Methodist Hospital.

Adair, who was from Augusta, Georgia, earned an Emmy for his role in CBS’ Super Bowl coverage.
