PBR WORLD FINALS The PBR World Finals is known as the Super Bowl of the PBR – a grueling multi-day event that marks the end of the PBR season, determines the best rider and bull for the year, and turns one into a millionaire. The World Finals is the richest bull riding event in the sport, which includes a $1 million bonus awarded to the rider who is crowned the PBR World Champion. Each season, for roughly 27 weeks/events on the premier Unleash The Beast (UTB), and through the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT), Touring Pro Division (TPD) and the PBR’s international circuits in Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico, bull riders compete for individual event titles and valuable points needed to qualify for the World Finals and ultimately become the PBR World Champion. For 26 years, Las Vegas has been the site of the PBR’s drama-packed season finale, held 2016-2019 at the state-of-the-art T-Mobile Arena. The 2020 installment of the world’s richest bull riding event traveled to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, due to local COVID-19 (coronavirus) protocols, and was shortened from five days to four. During the initial rounds, riders attempt one bull each. Nightly round winners are crowned and the riders gain points toward the World Finals event and overall season titles. On Championship Sunday, the scores from the initial long rounds are added together to determine the Top 15 bull riders at the event. These riders then compete on one additional bull each. The competitor who finishes the event with the most world points wins the event title and purse. At the end of the World Finals, the points earned for the entire season are also added together. The rider who has earned the most points throughout the regular season and the World Finals becomes the PBR World Champion. Only five times in PBR history has the World Finals event winner and the PBR World Champion been the same rider. In 2004, became the first athlete to accomplish the feat, followed by Renato Nunes in 2010, J.B. Mauney in 2013, Silvano Alves in 2014 and most recently Jess Lockwood in 2019. The World Finals points system was modified in 2004 to ensure that the PBR World Champion was not determined prior to the World Finals. This gave virtually every rider in the Top 10 a mathematical chance of becoming the PBR World Champion. Following a subsequent change in 2015 to emphasize the importance of winning, the latest edits to the World Finals points system was implemented in 2020, increasing the amount of points available at the season-culminating event by 4.3% compared to 2019. While fewer points are available, compared to regular-season events, the World Finals’ importance is augmented. The event now offers 12% of the season’s world points, as compared to 8% in 2019. Below is the points system used to determine the PBR World Champion. (For more complete information on the points system, please refer to the Bull Riding Basics section of this media guide.)

2020 PBR WORLD CHAMPION ››› JOSE VITOR LEME In a year of twists and turns, there was one constant throughout 2020 – Jose Vitor Leme. On the heels of back-to-back runner up finishes to the PBR World Championship in 2018 and 2019, Leme was determined to conclude the season with nothing less than the world No. 1 rank and coveted gold buckle. Delivering a legendary season, Leme not only defeated, but outclassed his competition en route to his first PBR World Championship. Beginning his march to the 2020 World Championship at a Kearney, Nebraska Touring Pro Division event in December 2019, Leme was shut out, but that wasn’t something to be done many times in the upcoming season. Leme finished fifth at the season-launch premier series event inside Madison Square Garden in New York City and then fourth in the subsequent two elite tour events in Chicago and Manchester, New Hampshire, surging to No. 6 in the world.

Leme again topped the leaderboard in City the next weekend with another perfect performance, this time 3-for-3, and another 90-point ride in the championship round, 92-points on Bullseye to secure his second win of the season. Leme collected yet another buckle and surged to the No. 1 world rank. After an uncharacteristic 14th-place finish at the second Major of the year in Los Angeles, Leme was back to his winning ways in St. Louis. Going a perfect 3-for-3, the cowboy from Ribas do Rio Pardo cemented his third premier series victory of the season in the Show Me State, and returned to the world No. 1 ranking, a position he wouldn’t surrender the remainder of the year. Less than a week later, however, Leme’s season was put on an abrupt pause, when he broke three ribs during the Kansas City, 15/15 Bucking Battle after getting slammed into the chutes by The Right Stuff.

Additionally, Leme was sidelined for one of the four events, unable to compete due to exposure to COVID-19. But as the humble Brazilian stepped onto the dirt inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for PBR World Finals, the air was different. Leme was back to championship-contending form, going a perfect 2-for-2 through the first two rounds of competition to further his stronghold on the world No. 1 ranking. Round 3 delivered an unforgettable match-up that would conclude with two athletes being crowned World Champions.
