2023 Masters (curling)

The 2023 WFG Masters was held from December 12 to 17 at the Merlis Belsher Place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It was the third Grand Slam event and second major of the 2023–24 curling season.

Qualification and Format

The top 16 ranked men's and women's teams on the World Curling Federation's world team rankings as of November 13, 2023 qualified for the event. The Grand Slam of Curling may fill one spot in each division as a sponsor's exemption. In the event that a team declines their invitation, the next-ranked team on the world team ranking is invited until the field is complete.

Then men's and women's teams were split into four pools of four, with teams crossing over to play four games against teams in an opposing pool. Pool A teams play Pool D teams, Pool B teams play Pool C teams, and vice versa. The top eight teams overall advanced to the playoffs. The event also saw the return of tiebreaker games, after a number of curlers complained about their removal from previous grand slam events that season.
