Dubliner Jesse Petri, 25, is among 40 riders who have qualified to compete in the 2023 Professional Bull Riders World Finals, set for May 12-21 at Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena.
PBR ranks Petri in 11th place leading up to the event following some big wins during the 2023 season.
Petri took 2nd in the Manchester Invitational in December, before claiming 4th at the Monster Energy Buck Off at the Garden in New York and 3rd in the Ziprecruiter Invitational in Indianapolis.
His biggest win came in March as he took the top spot at the Union Home Mortgage Invitational in New Orleans, Louisiana.
With each out at a PBR event comprised of two athletes, both rider and bull, not only will one rider be crowned the 2023 PBR World Champion inside Dickies Arena, but one bovine athlete will also be anointed the 2023 YETI PBR World Champion Bucking Bull, earning an accompanying $100,000 bonus, at the conclusion of the seven-day event.
The 2023 PBR World Finals Week will feature an action-packed lineup of programming from May 12-21 across Fort Worth, Texas.
CBS Sports Network (CBSSN) will broadcast every round of the PBR World Finals LIVE, while CBS Television Network will bring viewers two highlight specials.
