Sage Kimzey is well on his way to one of the most all-time
impressive rodeo careers at just twenty-three years old. The
Oklahoman departs Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR)
entirely more prosperous after becoming the first bull rider to
ever win four consecutive WNFR World Titles. Kimzey won the
WNFR average for the second time in his career, which solidified
his immense payout. Kimzey stands only four gold buckles short
of Don Gay’s record of eight World Titles. Gay won his eighth
and final buckle at the age of thirty-one. Given his dominance
so far, Kimzey just might be into the double-digits by the time
he reaches his thirtieth birthday.
2017 was his fourth run at a World Title. Each time he has
ridden in the Thomas and Mack Center, he has left with a gold
buckle. He has set record after record and has even broken
some of his own records. He is the youngest member of the
PRCA to have earnings of over one million dollars.
Kimzey’s gold-paved 2017 regular season reads like a
never-ending highlight reel and includes the W at two of the
richest rodeos on the map: The American, where he won
433,333.33 dollars in February, and the Calgary Stampede,
where he earned 108,000 dollars up in Canada in July. For those
into bantering about whether or not Kimzey could cut it against
PBR cowboys, there was a PBR contingent at both of those
rodeos, and you’ll get nothing but mutual respect out of the
bull riders themselves on that subject. He has also been
competing in Championship Bull Riding events, winning the
Calgary Stampede and RFD-TV’s The American – none of
which counted towards in the PRCA.
