Sean Willingham
Sean Willingham grew up team roping, but he always had his sights set on bull riding. “I always wanted to try it; roping wasn't challenging. So, at age 15, I got on my first bull, and I liked it and just stuck with it.” After high school, Willingham was offered a rodeo scholarship at Western Texas College in Snyder, Texas, where he rode before joining the PBR.
The Georgia cowboy hit a hot streak on the Built Ford Tough Series in 2006 – earning three event championships. With wins in Tacoma, Wash., Reno, Nev. and Portland, Ore., along with six top-five finishes, Willingham has had the strongest season of his seven-year career.

Brendon Clark
Brendon Clark began riding calves at age 6, steers at age 10, and bulls at 13. A family friend taught the young cowboy how to ride, but it’s been Clark’s role model, Troy Dunn, who’s helped him improve his technique as a professional. “I always liked Troy Dunn’s riding style and attitude, and, of course, the fact that he is from Australia. Troy has help give me pointers on what I’m doing right and doing wrong,” says Clark.
Known to PBR fans as the “Australian sensation,” Brendon Clark burst unto the elite Built Ford Tough Series during the 2003 season. Clark has made a name for himself ever since by consistently placing in the top ten at PBR events. He won his first event in August of 2004 in Oklahoma City. “Winning the Oklahoma City event really confirmed for me that all the hard work is worth it. It is definitely my proudest bull riding moment," states Clark.

Mike Lee
Mike Lee grew up around livestock and climbed on his first steer at age 10. Throughout his teens, he moved up the ranks from junior bulls to senior bulls and competed in high school rodeos. Lee's riding talent was evident at a young age he qualified for the National High School Rodeo two years and was offered rodeo scholarships from several colleges. Lee turned down those offers and went pro when he turned 18. “As a rookie, I learned to ride jump for jump – one bull at a time,” says Lee. “And I tried to stay focused on what God's path is for me.” This mild-mannered Texan etched his name in the history books as the first rider simultaneously earn both the Built Ford Tough World Finals event title and the Built Ford Tough Million Dollar World Championship.
