The PBR's (Professional Bull Riders) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) will began its 2021 season in a new market, bucking off January 15-16, 2021 at H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, as part of the venue's Safe & Sounds Series, which features POD seating and industry leading safety protocols.

The sport’s premier expansion tour will bring to Cedar Park the world’s top bull riders matching up top bovine athletes. Man will take on beast in a battle for supremacy as the 45-man roster of riders search for the 8 second whistle. The opening event of the season features an early opportunity for points towards the 2021 PWVT Championship and the $35,000 bonus that goes with it.

The 2021 Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour season consists of more than 20 stops, bringing the toughest sport on dirt to cities such as Greenville, South Carolina; Memphis, Tennessee; and Reno, Nevada, and will culminate at the 2021 Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Finals in Las Vegas. Former Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour champions include some of the top riders on the globe today, such as Chase Outlaw (2016), Jose Vitor Leme (2019) and most recently Mason Taylor (2020).

Throughout the 2021 season, PBR will continue to commit to providing a safe environment for fans, athletes, employees, and crew by working with its venue partners to implement industry-leading protocols for live events while following health guidance from local and state officials.
