• Bodacious was also the 1994–1995 PRCA Bucking Bull of the Year. When Sweet Pro's Bruiser won the PRCA Bucking Bull of the Year award for 2017, he and Bodacious became the only bulls to win both the PRCA and PBR titles. Each bull won their two titles in the same year. Bodacious won both of his titles in 1995, while Sweet Pro's Bruiser won both of his titles in 2017.{{cite web|title=SweetPro's Bruiser Wins PBR and PRCA World Championships|url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/sweetpro_s_bruiser_wins_pbr_and_prca_world_championships/prweb14901860.htm|website=CISION PR Web|publisher=PRWeb|access-date=January 8, 2018}}

•• There was actually a tie between Sweet Pro's Bruiser, Sweet Pro's Long John and Pearl Harbor, which was resolved by taking the sum of the bull's best eight outs for the season. That is done according to the PBR rules as the first way to resolve a tiebreaker.{{cite web|title=SweetPro's Bruiser wins 2016 World Champion Bull title|url=https://www.pbr.com/article/356536/sweetpros-bruiser-wins-2016-world-champion-bull-title|website=Professional Bull Riders|access-date=November 8, 2016}}

Other awards

The PBR has some secondary awards, in addition to the World Championship, given out annually, some named after bull riders fatally injured during competition.{{Cite web|url=http://cms.pbr.com/en/education/dictionary.aspx|title=Professional Bull Riders – Dictionary|website=Professional Bull Riders|access-date=May 29, 2017}}

The Rookie of the Year award goes to the rookie (first full year of Premier Series competition) bull rider who wins the most points of all first-year competitors.

The Stock Contractor of the Year award goes to the stock contractor who has supplied the best bulls to Premier Series events. This award is given based on a vote among the top PBR bull riders.

The Bull of the World Finals award goes to the bull who scores the highest points combining all his outs during the PBR World Finals.

The Lane Frost/Brent Thurman Award is for the highest-scoring single ride at the World Finals. It is named for Lane Frost, the 1987 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) World Champion bull rider who was fatally injured at the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo on July 30, 1989; and Brent Thurman, a rising star in pro bull riding and co-founder of the PBR who was seriously injured at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas on December 11, 1994, and died six days later.

The Glen Keeley Award is for the Canadian bull rider who earns the most points throughout the entire Premier Series season. It is named for Glen Keeley, the 1989 Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) champion bull rider who died of injuries sustained at the PBR Bud Light Cup Series' Ty Murray Invitational on March 24, 2000, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Mason Lowe Award is for the highest-scoring single ride during the regular season of the Premier Series. Mason Lowe was an American bull rider who died of his injuries after being stepped on by a bull on January 15, 2019, during a PBR Velocity Tour event held in conjunction with the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado.{{cite web |title=PBR announces Mason Lowe Memorial Scholarship and Mason Lowe Award |url=https://www.pbr.com/article/393581/pbr-announces-mason-lowe-memorial-scholarship-and-mason-lowe-award |website=Professional Bull Riders |access-date=November 9, 2019}}

The Team Series Regular-Season MVP is awarded to the individual rider who earned the most points during the regular season of the PBR's U.S. Team Series.

The Team Series Fan Favorite Bull is awarded to the best performing bull during the regular season of the U.S. Team Series and is decided by fans who voted online.

The Great 8 Award is for the individual rider with the highest riding percentage of 20 outs or more during the regular season of the U.S. Team Series.

The PBR also has recognition awards in the Heroes and Legends Celebration. Some of these like the Ring of Honor and the Brand of Honor are the equivalent of a Hall of Fame recognition.{{Cite web|url=http://cms.pbr.com/en/riders/heroes-and-legends.aspx|title=Professional Bull Riders – Heroes and Legends|website=Professional Bull Riders|access-date=May 29, 2017}} In 2019 and 2020, the Mason Lowe Award was presented in the arena during the PBR World Finals, but it became a part of the Heroes and Legends Celebration in 2021. However, by 2022, it was now awarded during the opening gala the day before the beginning of the PBR World Finals. From 2011 through 2019, and again in 2021, the Heroes and Legends Celebration took place just before the start of the PBR World Finals. However, as of 2022, said ceremony is no longer a part of the PBR World Finals. Beginning in 2023, it will be held at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in September during the week of Freedom Fest, the annual PBR Team Series event in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
