Doug Mathis
PRCA Rodeo Announcer


Doug Mathis“Every day is a good day because we get to rodeo” is the mantra of Professional Rodeo Announcer Doug Mathis of Cleburne Texas. Mathis, a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, since 1995, is ranked as one of the top announcers in the country. In a career filled with highlights, announcing the 2005 Dodge National Circuit Finals in Pocatello Idaho and the 2009 National Finals Steer Roping put feathers in his cap, as well as placing seventh out of all PRCA announcers for "Announcer of the Year" voting in 2005. Also in 2005 and 2006 Doug was chosen for the T.V. Broadcasting job on The Altitude Channel for The Greeley Independence Day Stampede - Extreme Bull Riding.

Doug Mathis is not just another pretty face, although he has appeared in several fashion print campaigns, but his overall presentation and attitude have won him the admiration of all whom he works with. His outstanding ability to make what goes on in the arena look better than what it is and his smooth intelligent delivery satisfies the seasoned fan as well as the newcomers.

Doug is a highly sought after announcer, but his voice and face have taken him further outside of the arena than what he expected. Besides the numerous national fashion print campaigns, Mathis can also be seen acting in television commercials from Reliant Energy to the television pilot of “Knockoffs”, to CBS’s New Year’s Eve at Billy Bob’s Texas, to Tylenol and Esquire Watches, and also appeared in George Strait’s “Pure Country”.

Bob Tallman, 2004 PRCA Announcer of the Year and the voice of the
Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, gives this recommendation for Doug
Mathis’ professional expertise, “You don’t have to teach him, just trust him
for 100 folks or 100,000 fans”.

Mathis has been behind the mike since he sustained a career ending injury as a bull rider. He has announced in 23 states and averages 50,000 miles a year on the road. He jokes that he gets his mail in Cleburne, but that he really lives on the road. My friends are on the road and part of the fun of working in this industry is reconnecting every year. When he’s not announcing rodeos, Mathis can be found on his family ranch overseeing his 65 head of mother cows and calves.

Come rodeo with Mathis and his friends. You’ll be glad you did.
