We’re thrilled to welcome back Tyler Pearson, the 2017 PRCA World Champion in steer wrestling and six-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier, for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation with Luke Branquinho.
🔥 What’s new with Tyler in 2025?
- Blazing fast run at RodeoHouston, earning a semifinals spot
- 2nd place at Rodeo Corpus Christi, taking home $9K
Announced his retirement in May after an incredible career: 6× NFR qualifier, 2017 World Champ, and a true cowboy’s cowboy
In late May, Tyler announced his retirement from professional rodeo at age 40. A 6× NFR competitor and former world champion, he’s officially “hanging up the knee brace,” intending to focus more on family, particularly his son Stetson (11) and daughter Steelie (9).
What’s next for Tyler?
Although stepping away from the pro circuit, he’s far from done. He’s launching steer-wrestling schools, supporting children’s and jackpot ropings, and training horses—specifically steer wrestlers, hazing, and team roping horses. Plus, he’s spending quality time ranching and cheering on his kids.
