2008 Players' Championship

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 was 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 was 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 were invited. The total purse for each event is $100,000.

2008 Winners: Ontario Glenn Howard Saskatchewan Amber Holland

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