TIME TO RIDE OR GO HOME: During the first round of Ride For Redemption on Wednesday, May 14, five riders from the weekly PBR Stockyards Showcase events, the 2024 PRCA World Champion, the 2025 WRCA Rodeo Corpus Christi Champion, eight PBR Teams invites and eight invites from the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour will get on one bull in Round 1 and one bull in Round 2, with the five riders with the highest aggregate score advancing to the following day.
On Thursday, May 15, those five riders will join the 25 riders who didn’t qualify for the Championship during the Eliminations stage. All 30 riders will attempt one bull in Round 1. The five riders who advanced via Wednesday’s aggregate will only advance to Round 2 if they cover their opening round bull, while the remaining 25 riders are guaranteed to compete in both rounds. The Top 5 contestants in Thursday night’s two-round Ride For Redemption aggregate will advance to the PBR World Finals: Championship at AT&T Stadium on May 17-18. While no Unleash The Beast points will be awarded during Ride For Redemption, the event will award $45,000 in prize money across the four rounds of competition.
