PBR Hall of Fame
Ty Murray
Awarded in 2002

Ty Murray

Bio

Murray is the greatest all-around cowboy who has ever lived. His seven PRCA all-around titles, his two PRCA bull riding titles and his remarkable career in the PBR earned the PBR co-founder the appropriate moniker “King of the Cowboys.” Murray said the PBR was born as a means of making the sport better for its fans, and a huge part of that comes from storytelling. That wasn’t always the case. When he retired from bull riding, he was simply known as a nine-time World Champion with the nickname “King of the Cowboys.” No one really knew him. “When you get to know somebody – good, bad or indifferent – it makes all sports more interesting,” he said. “It takes away that thing where you feel like you’re just watching a red team and a blue team. You have a vested interest.”
