The 2023 Insitu Players Open was held from October 12 to 15 at the Dundas Granite Curling Club and the Dundas Valley Golf & Curling Club in Dundas, Ontario.[1] The event was held in a round-robin format with a $70,000 purse on both the men's and women's side.[2][3] It was the first event held as part of the Players Tour during the 2023–24 season.
The inaugural Players Open attracted a high calibre field of both national and international teams as it was held the weekend before the 2023 Tour Challenge in Niagara Falls.[4]
The Dirty Nil played in concert on the first night of the event.[4]
In the men's final, it was a battle of Alberta, with Team Brendan Bottcher defeating the Kevin Koe rink 5–4. The win put Bottcher in first place on the World Curling Rankings. The women's final was a battle of Sweden, with Anna Hasselborg's team defeating the Isabella Wranå rink 9–3, avenging her loss to Wranå at the Swedish European Championship playdowns the previous month.[5]
