Autumn Gold Curling Classic

The Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic is a women's World Curling Tour event held annually on the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend at the Calgary Curling Club in Calgary, Alberta. It was the first Grand Slam event of the season from 2006 to 2014, but is no longer considered one of the official Grand Slams. The first Autumn Gold Classic was held in 1978, and at the time only had a total purse of $10,500, with the winning team receiving $4,000. Between 2004 and 2018, the total prize money given out has been in excess of $50,000. In 2019, the purse was $44,000, with the winning team receiving $12,000.
