2008 Players' Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2008 Tylenol Players' Championship is the last Grand Slam event of both the World Curling Tour and Women's Curling Tour for the 2007-08 season. This will be the sixteenth time the event has taken place, and the third time since it was switched to joint men's/women's format. The event will be held in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador April 15-20. Since the event is a part of the Olympic qualifying process in Canada, only Canadian teams are invited. The total purse for each event is $100,000.

2008 Winners: Glenn Howard Amber Holland

Both of these teams were awarded 40 CTRS points for their feats at the tournament.
