PBR WORLD CHAMPION PBR WORLD CHAMPIONS Each year, the PBR World Champion is determined by the most PBR world points earned throughout the season. In 2019, 22-year-old Jess Lockwood made history, becoming the youngest two-time PBR World Champion in league history. Starting the season with back-to-back Unleash The Beast wins in New York City and Chicago, Lockwood quickly surged to the world No. 1 ranking. His season, however, was nearly derailed in February after breaking his collarbone during the 2019 PBR Global Cup USA. Sidelined for three months, Lockwood slipped to No. 4 in the world. However, a strong summer campaign, which included five Touring Pro Division event wins, coupled with a victory at both the 15/15 Bucking Battle and main event in Tulsa, the first event of the second-half, propelled him back to the No. 1 ranking. Winning the Houston event the subsequent weekend, Lockwood, who also won two additional 15/15 Bucking Battles, entered the World Finals the No. 2-ranked rider in the world. Locked in a ride-for-ride slug fest with fellow title contenders Jose Vitor Leme and Chase Outlaw, Lockwood’s 5-for-6 showing at the World Finals not only earned him the victory at the sport’s most prestigious event, but also allowed him to claim the 2019 PBR World Championship. Earning $1,873,731.80, Lockwood, who is now sixth in the PBR for all-time earnings, broke Justin McBride’s single-season earnings record from 2007 when he collected $1,835,321. Additionally, Lockwood is now one of only five athletes to win the World Championship and World Finals event title in the same season, joining: Mike Lee (2004), Renato Nunes (2010), J.B. Mauney (2013) and Silvano Alves (2014). ‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹ JESS LOCKWOOD YEAR CHAMPION HOMETOWN MONEY EARNED 2019 JESS LOCKWOOD VOLBORG, MONTANA $1,873,731.80 2018 KAIQUE PACHECO ITATIBA, BRAZIL $1,535,094.62 2017 JESS LOCKWOOD VOLBORG, MONTANA $1,525,292 2016 COOPER DAVIS BUNA, TEXAS $1,452,707 2015 J.B.

It offers established and up-and-coming bull riders an opportunity to not only earn money, but also to gain valuable points needed to qualify for the PBR’s top series, and ultimately the PBR World Finals. In 2019, despite only competing at six events on the tour, Jose Vitor Leme rode to the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Championship. Leme entered the Velocity Tour Finals as the series’ No. 1-ranked rider winning three of the six events he entered. In Las Vegas, Leme went 2-for-3 to win the 2019 Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Finals and remain atop the tour standings. The win allowed him to expand his lead in the broader PBR world standings to 749.16 points, however, Leme was unable to hold off a dominant Jess Lockwood, and for the second consecutive season, finished No. 2 in the world. ‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹ JOSE VITOR LEME YEAR CHAMPION HOMETOWN MONEY/POINTS EARNED 2019 JOSE VITOR LEME RIBAS DO RIO PARDO, BRAZIL $103,970/1,017.5 2018 ALISSON DE SOUZA TAUBATÉ, BRAZIL $88,299/410 2017 ALEX MARCILIO MACAUBAL, BRAZIL $91,550/367.50 2016 CHASE OUTLAW HAMBURG, ARKANSAS $79,133/542.50 2015 GAGE GAY STALEY, NORTH CAROLINA $75,000/530.00 2014 JASON MALONE PLEASANTON, TEXAS $15,453/652.75 TOURING PRO DIVISION WINNER TOURING PRO DIVISION WINNER The Touring Pro Division (TPD) is the developmental tour of the PBR, where both established veterans and newcomers to the professional ranks compete against some of the sport’s best bucking bulls.

From 2003- 2012, the award was presented to the bull rider who earned the most money during his first season competing on the premier series. Starting in 2013 the Rookie of the Year award was given to the rider who earned the most points. In 2019, Dalton Kasel delivered one of the most noteworthy PBR debut seasons, to climb from unranked on June 1 to No. 8 in the world following the season’s last day of action on Nov. 10. Kasel notched two impressive Touring Pro Division wins in Williston, North Dakota, and Big Sky, Montana and debuted on the Unleash The Beast in Tulsa, Oklahoma in early August, finishing seventh. It didn’t take him long to find his groove, finishing second at his first- ever Major in Nashville two weeks later. After recording two additional Top-5 efforts on the elite tour, he stood atop the Can-Am cage for the first time in his young career, winning the final regular-season event in Nampa, Idaho.
