The Professional Bull Riders announced that the world’s best bull riders and the baddest bulls will return to Jobing.com Arena on Mar. 17-18 for the PBR Built Ford Tough Glendale Invitational.

The BFTS features the best, highest-paid bull riders on the planet, including PBR World Champion Silvano Alves, and Valdiron de Oliveira, who won at Glendale in 2011

Fans will witness thrilling 8-second rides and jaw-dropping wrecks throughout the adrenaline-soaked performance as the PBR’s insanely brave cowboys risk it all against monstrous animal athletes that can weigh as much as 2,000 pounds.

Bull riding begins at 6 p.m. on Mar. 17, and at 2 p.m. on Mar. 18. Tickets start at just $10, and can be purchased at the Jobing.com Arena box office, www.Ticketmaster.com, and by telephone at 800-745-3000.

It is the sixth consecutive year that the PBR has competed in Glendale; past winners include two-time World Champion Chris Shivers, and two-time World Champion Justin McBride. McBride is the PBR career money leader with $5.5 million, the most of any western-sports athlete in history, while Shivers ranks second in career earnings with $3.8 million.

Each of the 35 riders will ride on Saturday and Sunday. Following Round 1 on Saturday, the riders with the 10 highest scores will each compete with one more bull. Following Round 3 on Sunday, the riders with the 10 highest cumulative scores will advance to the Built Ford Tough Championship Round where they will compete with one more bull. The overall event winner will be the rider with the highest combined score from all four rounds.

Glendale is the 11th of 29 stops on the 2012 BFTS schedule, which will open at world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York on Jan. 6-8. The season will conclude Oct. 24-28 in Las Vegas with the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals, where the PBR World Champion will be crowned and awarded a $1 million bonus. The richest bull riding event in the world, the World Finals has a total purse of more than $2 million.
