Autumn Gold Curling Classic



The Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic (formerly the Trail Appliances Curling Classic) is the first Grand Slam event of the season on the Women's World Curling Tour. It is held annually on the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend at the Calgary Curling Club in Calgary, Alberta. The first Autumn Gold Classic was held in 1978, and at the time only had a total purse of $5,000. Beginning in 2010, the total prize money to be given out was $52,000, including $14,000 for the winning team. The purse in 2013 was $50,000. The event became a Grand Slam in 2006.

The 2010 Classic saw the first non-Canadian team to win a Grand Slam of Curling event, the Wang Bingyu rink from China. ==Past champions[edit] ==
