TIM O’CONNELL 2017 PRCA Bareback World Champion “The second one (title), when they handed me that, that solidified what I was doing in this sport, that the first one wasn’t a fluke, that I had one good year and got by. The second one put a stamp on it that I mean business when I come here now.”

For the third consecutive season, back-to-back defending bareback riding world champion Tim O’Connell heads to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in the top spot. PRCA ProRodeo photo by Greg Westfall
