Fans of rodeo are going crazy about the 2023 PBR Team Series. This is one of the biggest rodeos of the year, and the excitement is just beginning. There are both newbie cowboys and seasoned veterans here to test themselves. Although American cowboy Sage Kimzey is well-known in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), he has never been a major contender in PBR events. The Team Series, however, provided the seven-time PRCA world champion with an opportunity to showcase his talents, and he did not let the audience down.
The Carolina Cowboys’ first-round draft pick was Sage Kimzey. After four years in PBR, Kimzey did not disappoint his team by scoring a 90 on his ride. The seven-time PRCA world champion’s spectacular ride went viral on social media as spectators saw him perform like a champion.

Sage Kimzey is no stranger to the cowboy lifestyle, but these past PBR seasons were not his best. Even though he doesn’t compete much in the PBR, rodeo enthusiasts still consider him a world champion. In the 2023 Team Series, the Carolina Cowboys met the Arizona Ridge Riders. When the seven-time world champion cowboy was paired up with Reba McEntire’s The Hammer, all eyes were on them. Even though it’s a young bull, its buck-off rate of 60% is high enough to defeat world champions.
The metal gates were open, and the champion rider was on the bull. Over a thousand pounds of bull attempted to buck off the cowboy, but Kimzey was more than a match for it. The PBR event was a huge success thanks to the seven-time PRCA world champion, who had the fans going wild for the whole time he was on the bull. Kimzey completed the bull ride in perfect time, and the 8-second buzzer went off without a hitch. The judges were so thrilled with his ride that they gave him a flawless score of 90.
The world champion’s second ride of the 2023 Team Series went swimmingly, and he now hopes to go on to even greater glory.
The rodeo star’s profile
The Salado, Texas, cowboy has a sizable fanbase in the PRCA. Sage Kimzey has earned $3,047,593 in the PRCA so far, and he hopes to add more to that total with the help of the 2023 PBR Team Series. This 28-year-old Texan cowboy has been competing in PRCA rodeos since 2013. He has won many events, but his 93-point ride from his rookie season at the Lawton Rangers Rodeo stands out.
