In 1992, a group of bull riders broke away from the rodeo system to form their own professional sport. Today, Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) has the fastest growing fanbase in the United States. From 1994 to 2002, Bud Light was the premiere sponsor of the leading tour within PBR, ending annually with the World Championships in Las Vegas. Here, LeRoy Neiman has captured the previous year’s winner, Ty Murray, on Red Wolf, a bucking bull with whom Murray achieved a score of 95.5. As appears in much of his mature work, the crowd is as interesting and dynamic as the main subjects, their individual cheers almost palpable.
