NO. 1 KASEL ENTERS PBR WORLD FINALS WITH 126-POINT LEAD OVER NO. 2 FIELDER: No. 1 Dalton Kasel looks to hold onto his 126-point lead over No. 2 Brady Fielder to win his first gold buckle after winning a tour-best five events during the 2025 regular season. The Muleshoe, Texas, native went 33-for-60 (55%) throughout the campaign, including a tour-best-tying five 90-point rides. Right on his spurs, Fielder went an impressive 40-for-61 (65.6%) to lead the tour in riding percentage in 2025, recording seven round wins, second only to Kasel’s incredible fourteen round victories. 

Fielder, who is looking to become the second Australian to win the PBR World Title (Troy Dunn – 1998) sat atop the standings for eight consecutive weeks before Kasel surged up the standings by winning three straight events, capped by a 4-for-4 performance in Palm Desert, California, to seize the lead in the 2025 Unleash The Beast standings. The Texas cowboy has led the gold buckle race ever since, though Fielder has never trailed by more than 187 points. Kasel is paired with Good Riddance in Round 1 of Eliminations, while Fielder takes on Lap Dancer.
