By Bob Francis, Fort Worth Report May 20, 2022 May has turned into a party month in Fort Worth, and the whole world is on the invite list. Along with being hosts to "Good Morning America" in the Stockyards, there's been the Professional Bull Riders World Finals, a Texas Motor Speedway race weekend and – soon to follow – the Charles Scwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. And, though it was a one-time event, the month also saw Paul McCartney return to Fort Worth for his first concert in the city since 1976. The same week, Kendrick Lamar released a video filmed partially in Fort Worth's Water Gardens. The Texas Motor Speedway race and Colonial tournament have a history in the city, but the PBR World Finals is new and Visit Fort Worth expects the bull riders to saddle up in the city for years to come. "I think the PBR is going to be one of those monumental deals for the city that we look back on in a couple of decades and say, 'Wow, look what's happened because of that partnership,'" said Jason Sands, executive director of the Fort Worth Sports Commission.
