The 2024 HearingLife Tour Challenge was held from October 1 to 6 at the Bell Aliant Centre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.[1] 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.[2] One of the main changes brought in by the new ownership included streaming every single game on every sheet.[3]
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.[4]
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 (Gushue being the only other skip with this distinction). It was Mouat's seventh career Slam title.[5]
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 of Curling, though Team Black will play at the 2024 National instead, as the Masters conflicts with the 2025 Nova Scotia Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
