The PRCA All-Around World Championship is awarded to the cowboy with the most ProRodeo earnings in at least two events, and the 2024 edition is shaping up to be a slugfest between veterans—and one rookie.
The top five in the PRCA All-Around race are diverse and experienced, boasting 38 NFR Qualifications between them. Team roping is represented by Junior Nogueira and Coleman Proctor while calf roping is headlined by Shad Mayfield and Tuf Cooper. Representing the roughstock is Rookie Wacey Schalla.
Only $91,396 separates No. 1 Mayfield and No. 5 Cooper, and when winning a go-round pays $33,687, no-one can be counted out yet.
For some context: The All-Around Championship has gone to saddle bronc and bull riding icon Stetson Wright for the last five years. Wright sustained a torn hamstring during the 2023 NFR that, despite his best efforts, eventually sidelined him for the 2024 season. His absence allows for others to throw their hat in the PRCA All-Around ring.
