Tulsa area rodeo athletes qualify for Western Sports’ Extravaganza set to take DFW by storm May 9-19

From May 9-19, an epic Western sports extravaganza will take over the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, set to award nearly $5 million across three marquee events. The PBR World Finals will kick off the festivities, beginning May 9-12 in Fort Worth at Cowtown Coliseum. When the reformatted, three stage event concludes May 18-19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the PBR will crown its next World Champion, who will earn the coveted gold buckle and $1 million bonus. Collectively, the 2024 PBR World Finals will award a historic $3.13 million.

The Women’s Rodeo World Championship will then get underway May 13, concluding with the championship round on May 18 inside the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Featuring 100s of women’s rodeo athletes, the richest all-female rodeo will payout $750,000 across four disciplines.

As one of the weekend’s final events, the first-ever Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo will take over AT&T Stadium on May 17. The teamformatted rodeo will award $1 million and feature Kid Rock live in concert.

And these events will feature competitors with ties to the greater Tulsa area.

Tahlequah’s Caden Bunch will compete at the PBR World Finals, alongside Hulbert’s Wyatt Rogers.

Big Cabin’s Gene Owen Bucking Bulls, Hulbert’s Halpain Bucking Bulls, and Porum’s Jenkins Cattle Co. will have bovine athletes bucking at bull riding’s most prestigious event.

Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo will feature Pryor’s Coleman Proctor, Coffeyville’s Jake Long and Pawhuska’s Wenda Johnson in competition.
