Even after securing a career-defining world title at Wrangler National Finals Rodeo on Saturday night in Las Vegas, 2017 all-around world champion Tuf Cooper had one more trick up his sleeve. Once the coveted gold buckle signifying him as rodeo’s top cowboy was his, the 27-year-old saw it fitting to pop the question to girlfriend Tiffany McGhan.

Just like Cooper’s performance over the 10-day mega rodeo competition, McGhan didn’t disappoint. She said yes, and after her new fiancé collected $341,560 for the 2017 season, the happy couple just might be able to take a nice honeymoon one day soon. Cooper outpaced brother-in-law and 13-time NFR all-around champion Trevor Brazile by just over $22,000 to claim the ultimate prize.

“This is the only one that says ‘cowboy’ on it,” Cooper told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Saturday night.

The Texas-based Cooper claims his proposal at the Thomas & Mack Center was only going to happen if he won the all-around crown, and to do that the three-time tie-down world champ needed to come from behind against the legendary Brazile. Cooper trailed the 23-time world champion by $32,000 entering NFR’s final day, but Brazile failed to earn any money on Saturday, leaving the door open for his protege to steal the NFR crown.

“The sport has a great all-around world champion. He’s the one that I want my kids looking up to,” Brazile said of Cooper to the Review-Journal.

Cooper established himself as this year’s top multi-event cowboy while competing in steer roping and tie-down, the latter of which he had to settle for second after relinquishing his top spot to eventual champion Marcos Costa. But coming up short in the tie-down roping is a minor consolation for Cooper, who finished second in the event’s average standings to net $54,577. That was plenty enough to surpass his idol Brazile, and now the new champ joins his father and brother-in-law as a fellow all-around king.

“This is the best title and the best buckle you can win in rodeo,” Cooper said to ProRodeo.com. “I just grew up as a kid who wanted to rope calves like my dad and brother-in-law. They both have won the all-around, and now I have one too.”
