SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Mason Moody’s 2026 season has opened at a full sprint.
The current PRCA world standings leader spoke with Derek Beck by phone this week while preparing for the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, where he has already posted an 85.5-point ride on Coolout and an 84 aboard Jersey Mike during bracket play.
Moody’s winter run has been marked by consistency and big paydays. He claimed the title at the Dixie National Rodeo in Jackson, Mississippi, with an 88.5-point effort worth $7,058 and followed with a 90-point ride on Sorry Sam to win the 155th Silver Spurs Rodeo in Kissimmee, Florida, adding $5,391.
He also picked up wins at Rodeo Rapid City in South Dakota, the Bismarck PRCA Rodeo in North Dakota and multiple rounds at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. His 88-point ride in the finals at Fort Worth’s Bulls Night Out earned $24,600 and provided early momentum in the world standings race.
Moody said the key to staying on top is stacking solid rides and capitalizing on opportunities during the winter run, when major rodeos offer large payouts and strong bulls.
Now in San Antonio, one of the richest regular-season stops on the PRCA schedule, Moody looks to add to his lead as the sport’s No. 1 bull rider and continue a season that has already featured multiple wins, high-mark rides and steady earnings across Texas, the Southeast and the Northern Plains.
The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo continues through Feb. 28.
