David (Dave) "Splash" Mathers (born May 12, 1991) is a Canadian curler originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He currently plays second for the Glenn Howard rink.
As a student at Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School, Mathers won the 2007 Ontario Schoolboy Championship, playing second for Andrew Flemming. The following year, he won a Bantam championship playing second for Mike Flemming. Mathers would then move back to Ottawa to attend Algonquin College.
As a junior curler, Mathers played second for the Mathew Camm rink at the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, representing Ontario. The team lost to Saskatchewan's Braeden Moskowy in the final. That season, they also played in the 2010 Canada Cup of Curling (going 0-5) and the 2011 Players' Championship, Mathers' first Grand Slam event, where they won just one game.
Following his junior career, Mathers was picked up to play lead for the John Epping rink. This team would find immediate success on the World Curling Tour, winning the 2011 AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic which was their first event of the season. The team played in the Grand Slams that season, losing in the final of the 2011 World Cup of Curling, failing to qualify at the 2011 BDO Canadian Open and winning the 2012 Players' Championship. Despite their success, the team failed to qualify for the provincial championship that season.
