The PBR's Touring Pro Division is the new 2010 minor tour of the PBR, replacing the Challenger Tour, Enterprise Tour and Discovery Tour. As with the previous minor tours, it offers up-and-coming bull riders and riders not competing in the Build Ford Tough Series the opportunity to compete in PBR sanctioned events while earning money to qualify them for the elite Built Ford Tough Series and the PBR World Finals.
The new Touring Pro Division is split into three regions; the Western Region, the Central Region and the Easter Region. The interactive map below details the region, and lists the events by state (roll your cursor over the map to display this).
Once the season begins, the World's top 40 bull riders have five Build Ford Tough Series events at witch they will compete to secure their positions in the elite Tour. After the fifth event, the bottom five riders ranked based on points, are dropped from the Build Ford Tough Series. The top five Touring Pro Division riders, based on Tour money earned, are then allowed to move into those five positions and compete in the Build Ford Tough Series.
After the fifth event, the bottom five riders ranked based on points, are dropped from the Build Ford Tough Series must compete in the Touring Pro Division, to earn enough money to regain a Build Ford Tough Series roster position. To learn more, visit www.pbrnow.com.
