ProRodeo Tour Finale to Pay Out $1 Million

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Today, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association® (PRCA) proudly announced the PRORODEO® Tour Finale will pay $1 million to contestants and other PRCA members at California Rodeo Salinas, Sept. 23-26.

The ProRodeo Tour presented by Pendleton Whisky is the culmination of the most prestigious tour on the PRCA circuit. The Tour Finale will punch tickets to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo® in Las Vegas for a majority of ProRodeo athletes.

“A payout this significant on the final weekend of the regular season will give the ProRodeo Tour Finale a playoff-type atmosphere for those in the hunt for the NFR and a PRCA World Championship,” PRCA interim CEO Tom Glause said.

Over the course of the season, contestants competed in up to 55 ProRodeo Tour rodeos that paid out more than $18 million in hopes of qualifying for the Tour Finale.

That hard work will pay off with the chance of competing for a share of nearly $1 million.

The rodeo purse will pay out $596,000, which includes entry fees paid by the event, and each contestant in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping (headers and heelers), saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding will receive a $1,500 appearance fee that will not count toward the PRCA | RAM World Standings.

The Tour Finale also will host breakaway roping, with ropers competing for a purse of $38,000, including entry fees. They will also receive a $500 appearance fee that will not count toward the world standings.
