It has been the talk of the steamie for a while, but it's now in the open that David Murdoch won't be skipping his own team next season, but will be joining forces with current Scottish Champion Tom Brewster.
The full list of supported teams will no doubt appear soon on the Performance Pages on the Royal Club's website here. Following selection meetings last week, today was the day that the athletes themselves were informed.
Eve Muirhead has already posted on her team's Facebook page that her current team will be in the World Class Performance Programme next season.
More news as it appears.
