Throughout the rodeo season, competitors give it their all to qualify for the "Super Bowl of rodeo"—the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas. From December 5th to December 14th, during the 66th Annual NFR, the top 15 contestants in each event will compete for the coveted 2024 PRCA World Champion title. The action will unfold in the Thomas & Mack Center, an iconic venue where legends are made, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Legacy Sponsor

Resistol was among the first sponsors of the Professional Cowboys Rodeo Association (PRCA), the oldest and largest professional rodeo-sanctioning body in the world. The long-standing partnership between Resistol and the PRCA symbolizes the deep-rooted traditions and values shared by the sport and the brand. As the official hat of the PRCA, Resistol stands for quality, heritage, and the enduring spirit of rodeo athletes.
