About us

The Grand Slam of Curling is an annual series of events featuring the top-ranked curling men’s and women’s teams worldwide. Total prize money for the Grand Slam of Curling has increased to $2.1 million, beginning with the 2018-19 season, which is split equally between the men’s and women’s divisions. Considered majors on the curling tour circuit, invited men’s and women’s teams must qualify according to predetermined criteria. The series started with the 2001-02 season and consisted of four events: the Canadian Open, Masters, National and Players’ Championship. A women’s division was added to the Players’ Championship in 2006. Since 2012, Sportsnet has added women’s divisions to the other three majors as well as created two additional events: the Tour Challenge, with two tiers and a total of 64 teams, and the Champions Cup, a special event closing out the season with all of the top winners on tour. The Tour Challenge was created to provide an opportunity for the next group on the rankings lists and local teams to play on arena ice. The Tier 2 winners receive prize money plus promotions to a future major Grand Slam of Curling event with travel and accommodations covered. With incredible in-venue branding opportunities as well as within Sportsnet’s broadcast, these events promise great exposure for host communities and local sponsors alike. The Jackpotcity Casino lounge allows fans to catch all of the action right at ice level while the Après Curl is the place to be after the matches where the party continues with live entertainment and games. Our JR. GSOC and Future Rockstars programs allow the next generation of curling stars to hit the ice and learn the tricks of the trade from our elite curlers — all in an effort to grow the sport of curling and give back to the clubs and communities.
