2015 The Masters Grand Slam of Curling

The Masters Grand Slam of Curling is a Grand Slam event on the men's and women's World Curling Tour. It is the fourth Grand Slam event on the women's tour and the first on the men's tour. The event is an amalgamation of the men's World Cup of Curling and the women's Sun Life Classic. There was also a men's Sun Life Classic, which has been discontinued. The Sun Life Classic was an annual WCT event (but not a Grand Slam event) held every November at the Paris Curling Club, Brant Curling Club and the Brantford Golf & Country Club in the Brantford, Ontario area.[1] The World Cup was a Grand Slam event and was held in various locations across Canada, and was also previously known as the Masters.

The first incarnation of the event with both men and women was held in 2012 at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre and the Brantford Golf & Country Club in Brantford, Ontario.
