Ten-time PBR World Finals Qualifier Kody Lostroh reached the pinnacle of the sport in 2009 when he was crowned World Champion following a feverish battle with J.B. Mauney.

Following the 2014 season, Lostroh retired from the sport, having won 10 premier series events, while recording 51 90-point rides across all levels of competition. Earning more than $3.2 million during his competitive career, Lostroh currently ranks No. 12 in all-time money earned by all competitors within the PBR.

After stepping away from the PBR in 2014, the following year Lostroh was diagnosed with a tumor around his carotid artery. While Lostroh made a full recovery and briefly returned to competition, he officially retired in March 2018 and has since resided in Colorado with his wife and two children.

Since 2022 he has coached in the new PBR Teams league, initially as assistant coach for the Florida Freedom for two years and now currently as head coach of the New York Mavericks. 2023 PBR Ring of Honor inductee, and 2024 Bullriding Hall of Fame inductee.
