1956-Living

TeeSquantee Claude Woolman was born December 4, 1956, in Vinita, Oklahoma.  TeeSquantee is Cherokee for “boy of the woods”.  Tee for short, won his first of three, world team roping titles as PRCA Team Roping Rookie of the Year in 1980.  He is one of only five in rodeo history to earn his gold buckle in his rookie year.  

Tee has won 26 trips to the National Finals Rodeo to team rope and appeared 19 times at the National Finals Steer Roping.  That is a total of 45 qualifications. Tee won the prestigious 10-head average at the NFR five times.  Tee partnered with Leo “The Lion” Camarillo in 1980 and ’82, Bobby Harris in 1987 and ’90, and Cory Petska in 2005 for the NFR Average Crown.  Woolman has a grand total of 28 NFR Go-Round wins.

In the NFSR, Tee is fifth all-time in terms of 42 total National Finals Go-round wins, including 28 at the NFR and 14 at the NFSR.  Tee won the 10-steer NFSR average in 1998 and also earned two NFR all-around titles in 1985 and 1995.  Woolman was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 2004.  He continues to compete and win and in 2018 was the Team Roping Legend Exemption at The AMERICAN at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.  Tee and Leo thrilled the crowd once again by joining forces.  Woolman owns four NFR aggregate titles, an NFSR aggregate crown and has won more than $2 million in the arena and holds three World Championships for 1980, ‘82, and ‘91.  And his horse, Megazord was voted the PRCA/AQHA Team Roping Head Horse of the Year in 2004.

Tee is quoted as saying, “When I was rodeoing, Pecos was one of the big ones over the Fourth of July run.  Back then, we always roped big steers over a long score, so it was old school.  Pecos was always Wild West, but just a great rodeo.” TeeSquantee “Tee” Woolman and his wife, Jacque live in Llano, Texas.  They have a son, Walker Mack.
