PBR World Finals features 40 of the world’s best bull riders competing for the coveted gold buckle and a $1 million bonus. PBR is expected to bring more than 70,000 visitors to the city, with a projected economic impact up to $28 million.
The NASCAR All-Star race is the highlight of race weekend, May 20-22, with Texas Motor Speedway hosting the $1 million-to-win spectacle and all three of NASCAR’s premier series. The NASCAR Open will begin at 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 22 and the NASCAR All-Star Race starts at 7 p.m.
“Fort Worth continues to benefit from the thousands of visitors and the national exposure these sporting events bring,” said Jason Sands, executive director for the Fort Worth Sports Commission. “Whether it's bull riding, NASCAR or the PGA, the common thread is that visitors enjoy coming to Fort Worth to experience all our city has to offer.”
The Charles Schwab Challenge, the longest running professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, will be held May 26-29 at the historic Colonial Country Club. The winner will take home 60% of the $8.4 million total purse plus a fully restored and modernized 1979 Schwab Firebird.
