The PBR’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) began in 2014 as the sport’s premier expansion series, featuring young, emerging bull riding talent alongside some of the superstars of the sport.

The PWVT brings the excitement and talent of the PBR that fans have come to expect from the leader in the sport of bull riding to cities across the U.S. that are not currently included on the premier series’ schedule.

The tour is completely produced and operated by PBR, providing fans the highest-quality experience available.

The PWVT is the primary and most important qualifying series for bull riders to earn valuable points needed to qualify for the Unleash The Beast (UTB), and ultimately the PBR World Finals. Additionally, every winner of a PWVT regular-season event will be seeded at one UTB event during the season, providing yet another avenue for the PBR’s emerging talent to increase their position in the overall world standings.

The PWVT Finals are featured as the last event of the season, taking place just prior to the PBR World Finals each year. The Top 35 riders from the PWVT compete for the final five positions available at the PBR World Finals, making it the most important event on the schedule outside of the World Finals itself.
