John Crimber finished the 2026 Unleash The Beast season as PBR World Champion with 1,242.50 world points, settling the title at the World Finals in Fort Worth and ending 178.83 points ahead of runner-up Brady Fielder.
The gap is the story. A margin that size in a points race decided across a full tour season means Crimber was not just hot at Finals — he banked steadily all year while the field traded weeks.
Meanwhile the PRCA side of the sport is still unsettled. With roughly a month left in the regular season, the bull riding world standings are stacked with rookies chasing Wrangler NFR qualifying spots, and riders on the bubble are counting four-figure gaps.
