Bio
Honored in his first year of eligibility, Alves became just the second rider in PBR history to win three World Championships when he earned his third title in 2014. He won his first championship in 2011 and became the first rider to win back-to-back titles in 2012 before tacking on another buckle two years later. Before the trio of titles, Alves was named Rookie of the Year in 2010 before going on to log more than 500 qualified rides and 13 consecutive World Finals appearances. He won $6.7 million in prize money along his journey.
Following his retirement from competition in fall 2025, Alves became assistant coach of the Nashville Stampede, a team he helped win the inaugural PBR Teams Championship in 2022. Now continuing to give back to the sport by developing the next generation of bull riders, he is just one of two riders to have four World Championships with his three individual titles and a championship with the Stampede.
