For two nights, some of the best bull riders in the world will battle the sport’s rankest bovine athletes in the ultimate showdown of man vs. beast in one of the most exciting live sporting events to witness.
In 2022, Greenville hosted the Velocity Tour for the one-night event.
In front of a capacity crowd at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Marcos Gloria (Central de Minas, Brazil) won the PBR Greenville Invitational, going a perfect 2-for-2 and surging to the No. 20 rank in the early 2022 PBR World Championship race.
Gloria began the event with an 86.5-point ride aboard Barnett’s Row (JR Phillips) in Round 1. The 31-year-old Brazilian then catapulted to the event lead when he bested Pneu Dart’s Black Label (Mike Miller Bucking Bulls) for a championship-round-best 87.5 points. For his efforts, Gloria collected a crucial 40.5 world points.
After beginning the tour stop ranked No. 80 in the world, Gloria surged 60 positions in the world rankings compliments of the golden finish to No. 20. He finished the 2022 season ranked No. 61.
The Velocity Tour first returned to Greenville in 2021 after a three-year hiatus.
At that event, Marcelo Procopio Pereira (Ringopolis, Brazil), competing in just his fifth career event on American soil, went a near perfect 2-for-3 to capture his career-first PBR event victory.

vs. 
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits are much more than a professional hockey franchise playing in Upstate South Carolina; it is truly Greenville’s hockey team. Formerly known as the Road Warriors, the club rebranded to the Swamp Rabbits on August 26, 2015 in an effort to really ingrain itself in the fabric of the community. The name is inherently Greenville – specific to the city and unique in the sports world.
It’s the electrifying energy and unstoppable passion of Swamp Rabbits fans inside The Well combined with the award-winning game presentation that make attending a Swamp Rabbits game the BEST fan experience in the ECHL! From the moment you step inside the arena, you’ll find FREE concourse activities for the whole family, including sign-making, temporary tattoos, interactive games, music and there’s always a good chance you’ll run into the Swamp Rabbits mascot Stomper! Throughout the season, fans can also expect a lineup of special theme nights and exciting giveaways.
