Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Ernie Richardson captured the Brier Tankard with a record of 9–1 in round robin play. This was the third time in which Saskatchewan had captured the Brier championship. Richardson became the third skip to win back-to-back Brier championships joining Gordon Hudson (1928 and 1929) and Matt Baldwin (1957 and 1958). Unlike Hudson and Baldwin before him, Richardson's rink was the first to win back-to-back Briers with the same four team members.
Richardson's rink would go on to complete in the 1960 Scotch Cup in Scotland where they repeated as World Champions defeating Scotland 5 games to none.
