World Champions Team Mouat have rounded off a dominant season by defeating Team Schwaller to become the first-ever rink to win four Grand Slam titles in one season.
Led by skip Bruce Mouat, the Scots felled the Swiss 6-5 in the Players Championship final in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday (13 April) to claim four out of a possible five Slams this year and take their total title count up to 10.
Team Whyte, led by Ross Whyte, captured the other men’s Grand Slam title, marking a clean sweep of all five championships by Scottish teams.
Mouat’s victory over the Swiss in the final marks the third over the side in a week, after the Scots defeated the rink in the 2025 World Men’s Curling Championship final last Sunday.
“A bit numb, a bit trying to figure out what just happened,” Mouat said to Grand Slam of Curling. “We’ve made some history, we won the worlds, there’s just too many emotions to try and figure it all out.”
By all accounts, it has been an intense two-week curling stint for the Beijing 2022 silver medallists.
After coming through from the playoffs to win gold in Saskatchewan, Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie, and Hammy McMillan Jr. then competed in a charity skins game against Team Homan to make it 16 consecutive days on the ice by the end of the Slam final.
Despite their historic end-of-season triumph, there will be little rest for Mouat, whose attentions will now turn to the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship beginning on 26 April in Fredericton, Canada.
The event, which is also doubling as an Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 qualifier, will be the last chance for mixed doubles pairs to collect Olympic Ranking Points.
Mouat will pair up with Beijing 2022 mixed doubles partner Jennifer Dodds for the competition.
