Nine-time NFR qualifier Tilden Hooper confirmed to ProRodeo.com that he has been out with a neck injury since the 2022 NFR.
The injury is not unfamiliar to Hooper, who told the PRCA that it is an injury that he has been dealing with for most of his career, dating back to neck surgery in 2012.
Hooper told ProRodeo.com that the injury isn’t new, but it is a variation of an old problem and that he will, “get around it same as we have before.”
