The PRCA Had Its Wildest Week Yet and a Bull Rider From Oregon Led the Way

It was a wild week in the world of ProRodeo. Contestants are now putting on thousands of miles each week in their trek across the United States with their sights set on a final destination of Las Vegas, Nevada in December.

For many, this past week was a cash cow and a kick start to what might be the best year ever. For bull rider T.J. Gray, he pocketed over $30,000 in one week to keep his NFR bid alive in 2026.

Here are the big movers and big winners for the past week in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.

Bareback Riding

Cooper Cooke has been on a tear. The two-time NFR qualifier from Victor, Idaho, earned $16,526 last week with substantial wins at Elko, Nevada, and Nampa, Idaho. Those deposits jumped him up to the No. 5 position in the world standings.

Cole Reiner is looking for his sixth trip to Las Vegas, and this past week he picked up checks in three different states: Nevada, Utah, and Nebraska. In total, he earned $10,823

The third highest money winner for the week was R.C. Landingham, and he was hot on the heels of the leaders with his $10,710 deposit.

Q Taylor wants to see those bright lights of ‘Sin City’ again, and in his quest for a second qualification, the Nanton, Alberta man won an incredible $26,745 last week. He moves up three spots to No. 13 in the standings. In total for the year, he has won $70,484 and will have to keep winning to find himself in the top 15 come October.
