Baird is the son of professional golfer Butch Baird. He is also known for his odd putting style that worked for him when he was doing it as a drill and it just stuck.
On May 19, 2009, Baird hit a 230-yard shot from the top of the Omni San Diego Hotel to a bulls-eye in the center of Petco Park in order to give everyone a free chicken wrap at P. F. Chang"s China Bistro. In 2010, Baird entered the final event of the season 125th on the Professional Golf Association Tour money list.
He stumbled in the final round and a number of other players had better finishes.
