“A Champion’s Bold Decision! Cooper Davis, the renowned World Champion, recently announced that he will not be participating in the PBR Individual World Championship. Instead, he has chosen to focus his energy on the PBR Team Series, which returns in July next year.
But why this radical change? Cooper Davis has a noble reason behind his decision. He wants to dedicate himself fully to his team, the Carolina Cowboys, with the hope of extending his career and spending more time at home with his family, watching his son grow. It’s a heartfelt and family-oriented choice that deserves our respect.
During the Unleash The Beast (UTB) events, Cooper won’t be completely absent from the PBR scene. He will participate as a member of the TV commentator team during the championship broadcasts, a way to continue contributing to the sport he loves so much, albeit in a different role.
Davis’s decision is entirely understandable. The tight schedule and the high risk of injuries due to the challenging level of the bulls made this change a sensible one. He had already contemplated not competing in the 2023 individual season, but due to his performance in the 2022 PBR Teams, he decided to participate in one more season.
Cooper Davis is a name that has shone since his debut in the PBR in 2015. With the exception of one year due to surgery, he has remained in the Top 10 of the championship in eight out of nine seasons, making him the most consistent North American in recent years. In addition to his 2016 world title, he also clinched the World Finals in his debut year in 2015, totaling an incredible 13 victories in the PBR elite and more than $3.5 million in earnings.
Cooper Davis is a legend in the world of bull riding, and his decision to prioritize his team and his family is a testament to his commitment and passion for the sport. While we may not see him in individual competitions, we will still look forward to hearing his insights as a commentator in the UTB. Cooper Davis’s journey continues, in a different way, but no less exciting.”
