Cody Ohl’s 2006 Championship: The Sixth Gold Buckle in Context

Historical article · 2006. The events and results below belong to that period. Editorial review: November 1, 2026.

Cody Ohl's sixth PRCA world championship came in tie-down roping in 2006. The archived career review described an NFR in which he placed in nine of ten rounds and won four rounds outright.

The title capped a series of world championships across his career, rather than six consecutive wins in a single season. Keeping the event and year attached helps readers understand what the sixth buckle represents.

How a championship differs from an average

A world title reflects the season's eligible earnings, while the NFR average measures performance across the finals. The two can reinforce each other, but they are not interchangeable awards.

Ohl's example is useful because it connects nightly placings with a completed campaign. Several smaller checks can contribute alongside round victories, and the final title needs to be read from the season record rather than inferred from a single performance. The ProRodeo Hall of Fame and official records offer the broader career context.
