The PBR World Finals is set to take place this month in Fort Worth Texas at Cowtown Coliseum. With the finals just around the corner, there was one final stop to make on this season PBR Unleash the Beast tour.

The best bull riders in the world made their way to Tacoma Washington where Daylon Swearingen would come out as the event champion, and standings would dramatically shift.

Swearingen went 3 for 3 on the weekend. He went into Tacoma sitting number 17 in the standings, a pretty comfortable spot to secure a World Finals qualification. However, getting the win launched him to number 8 going into Fort Worth.

Fans knew something big could happen in that final round when they saw Daylon Swearingen's name next to the the No. 1 bull in the world, Pegasus. Daylon took full advantage of the opportunity putting together a very impressive 94.90 point ride that would secure the event win. He finished with 270.85 points on the three bulls.

His consistency lately has stood out. Swearingen has gotten a score on 9 of his past 11 bulls, and many of those have been for big money and titles such as this. He is not just covering his bulls, but he is riding very sharp. He could not ask for a better time to be on top of his game, as he now enters the PBR World Finals in great shape.

With 500.50 points, Swearingen is still a way out of the top spot held now by John Crimber with 984.50 points. However, Daylon has capitalized at the finals before and is looking to do the same in 2026.

In 2019, Swearingen became the youngest cowboy in history to qualify for both the PBR World Finals and the NFR in the same year. In 2022, he secured his first PBR World Championship. That gold buckle was only the start. He was drafted to the Carolina Cowboys and has since helped them in their great success in the PBR Teams events.

Earlier this year, Daylon also captured the title at the Tallahassee event. This was his first event win since 2022, the year he won the World Championship.
