Career
Proctor competes on the PRCA circuit. He has also competed on the PBR and Championship Bull Ridingtours. He is the 2011 PRCA world champion bull rider, and has qualified for the PRCA's National Finals Rodeo five times in bull riding and the PBR World Finals nine times. Apart from being a bull rider, he is also a bareback and saddle bronc rider. Proctor made his debut on the PBR's elite series, the Built Ford Tough Series in 2006. In January 2010, at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, New York, Proctor rode 2008 and 2010 World Champion Bull Bones for 91.25 points. Bones scored 44.5 points, just an average score for a bull of his calibre. Proctor won the event that weekend. In April 2017, in an event in Tacoma, Washington, Proctor rode World Champion Bull Contender Pearl Harbor for 93.50 points. The bull scored 45.75, a very good score for a high calibre bull. The ride won him the 15/15 Bucking Battle. "Riding in my home state, it doesn’t get much better than that,” Proctor said. “Definitely probably the highlight of my career." Proctor has qualified for the NFR five times. Four of those times he also had qualified for the PBR World Finals, including when he won the PRCA World Bull Riding Champion title. “That is one of the biggest things I take pride in,” Proctor said. "When it comes down to it, I was good in both associations, but I was never great. I would like to be a great cowboy. The guys I looked up to were Ty Murray and Cody Lambert. Guys that did the all-around." On Friday, January 6, 2018, after completing his last PBR event at Madison Square Garden, Proctor announced his intention to leave the PBR in order to pursue an All-Around Cowboy title in the PRCA. Proctor has spent several years competing in both circuits, but is focusing solely on the PRCA as of January 2018. "Proctor has long been considered a better bronc rider than bull rider, but bull riding was something that Proctor knew would always pay the bills better for him": Since his PBR debut, he has earned $1.3 million. He almost won a couple years ago, but fell short by $400 in one event. He also feels it is time for another roughstock athlete to win the event. The last time was when Ty Murray won the title in 1998.
