Biography


Stan Byrdy’s coverage of Jack Nicklaus’ historic Master Tournament win in 1986 secured his track for journalistic excellence: serving as the Sports Director for WJBF-TV and NBC Augusta, both in beautiful Augusta, Georgia, Stan Byrdy’s work tendered him a Best Local Sports Personality by readers of Augusta Magazine 12 concurrent years — as well as Georgia and South Carolina AP and UPI sports reporting awards, and content seen on ESPN, CNN, and ABC News affiliates nationwide.
