The 2020 National Finals Rodeo will be held in Texas.
The PRCA, a membership-based organization, sanctions approximately 600 rodeos annually, and there are more than 30 million fans in the U.S. Competition.
Cowboys who want to apply for membership in the PRCA must first obtain a permit card and then earn at least $1,000 at PRCA -sanctioned rodeos; there is no time limit to “fill” the permit. Money won under a permit card counts toward circuit standings, but not toward world standings or rookie standings.
We’ve rounded up eight of the most legendary pro rodeo riders in rodeo history. Larry Mahan. Larry Mahan started on the rodeo circuit at the age of 14. Chris LeDoux. Casey Tibbs. Jim Shoulders . Tad Lucas. Ty Murray . Tuff Hedeman. Lane Frost.

A PRCA permit costs $300 (a PRCA card costs $500 ), and includes insurance and event rep fees. We’re pretty proud of the fact that PRCA dues have not gone up since 1986, and that we continue to return 88 cents out of every dollar that comes in the door to services that directly benefit our members.
