The Grand Slam of Curling formerly branded as the Pinty's Grand Slam of Curling for sponsorship reasons is a series of curling bonspiels that are a part of the annual World Curling Tour. The Grand Slam was instituted during the —02 season for men and —07 for women with the Players' Championship also considered a Slam , [1] but some of the Grand Slam events have longer histories as bonspiels. The Grand Slam season consists of six men's and women's events. The original four events Masters, Open, National, and Players' Championship are considered to be "majors". Their complaints included the long curling season, not getting any prize money at the Brier , the national men's curling championship, which generated millions for the CCA, and the inability to have sponsors at the Brier. After the merger of the Women's Tour and the WCT, the Players' Championship featured a women's event for the first time, and was considered a Slam for the women too. In the —07 curling season , several existing women's events were designated as Grand Slams, but were not operated by the Grand Slam of Curling. In , Sportsnet purchased the Grand Slam of Curling. As such, television rights to the series have also defaulted to Sportsnet, though certain events may still air championship rounds on CBC. Under this new ownership, the separate women's Grand Slams were phased out, with women's divisions added to existing men's Grand Slams. New Grand Slam events were also added: the Elite 10 in the —15 curling season and the Tour Challenge and Champions Cup in the —16 curling season. A women's division was added to the Elite 10 in the —19 curling season , achieving for the first time equal number of events, prize money, and television time for men and women.
