It is once again that time in the season when the championship races for the PBR Unleash the Beast Premier Series heat up and start to narrow down the contenders, as the “cream slowly rises to the top”. The Yeti World Champion Bull race is no exception as this restructured and shortened 2022 Bull Riding season winds down toward the PBR World Finals at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth in May. The 2022 PBR Unleash the Beast regular season runs from January through May, culminating with a seven-day championship spanning two weekends of bull riding. The first three rounds of the 2022 PBR World Finals will be held May 13-15, with the final five rounds to be held May 19-22.
The 2022 YETI World Champion Bull will be the bovine athlete with the highest average bull score from their top-six regularseason outs and two outs at the PBR World Finals. Reigning World Champion Bull 124 Woopaa and 621 Ridin’ Solo have been the two dominant bulls for most of the season, trading first and second place back and forth, and at one point sharing the number one spot in a tie. As of this writing, with only three regular season events left, Ridin’ Solo is in first place again after dumping Keyshawn Whitehorse in 6.4 seconds in the championship round of the PBR Everett Invitational on Wednesday, April 6 in Everett, Washington. His bull score was 46 points, even though a re-ride was awarded for Solo hipping himself at the start of the out.
