2024 Tour Challenge
The 2024 HearingLife Tour Challenge was held from October 1 to 6 at the Bell Aliant Centre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It was the first Grand Slam event of the 2024–25 curling season, and the first event following the series' acquisition by The Curling Group. One of the main changes brought in by the new ownership included streaming every single game on every sheet.
Manitoba's Team Kerri Einarson won the women's final, defeating Team Rachel Homan from Ottawa, 5–4. It was Einarson's sixth Grand Slam. The team featured a temporary front-end of Dawn McEwen who was filling in for regular second Shannon Birchard who was injured, and Krysten Karwacki who was filling in for Briane Harris who was waiting on an appeal for being barred for testing positive for a banned substance.
On the men's side, Scotland's Team Bruce Mouat defeated Newfoundland's Brad Gushue 10–3. The win gave Mouat his first Tour Challenge, and with it a championship in each of the tour's five slams in his career. It was Mouat's seventh career Slam title.
In the tier two event, Saskatchewan's Rylan Kleiter beat Norway's Magnus Ramsfjell 6–5 in an extra end, while Nova Scotia's Christina Black defeated Japan's Team Sayaka Yoshimura 7–3. The wins qualified the rinks for the 2025 Masters, though Team Black will play at the 2024 National instead, as the Masters conflicts with the 2025 Ocean Contractors Women's Curling Championship.
Qualification
The Tour Challenge consists of two tiers of 16 teams. For Tier 1, the top 16 men's and top 16 women's teams from the World Curling Federation's world rankings based on the final standings of the 2023–24 curling season will be invited to participate. In the event that a team declines their invitation, the next-ranked team on the world team ranking is invited until the field is complete. Once the Tier 1 field has been confirmed, Tier 2 invites will be sent out to the teams ranked 17–32. The Grand Slam of Curling reserves the right to implement a sponsor's exemption in both the Tier 2 men's and women's events in which one spot can be filled at their discretion.Men
