The 2023 Saville Shootout was held from September 8 to 11 at the Saville Community Sports Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. The event was held in a round robin format with a $25,000 purse on both the men's and women's sides. The men's event was held for the first time since 2015.
Brendan Bottcher and his team of Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant and Ben Hebert out of Calgary won the men's title, defeating Catlin Schneider's Victoria based rink 4–2 in the final. Bottcher scored two in the second end which ended up being the only deuce of the game. The two teams traded singles through the second half with the Alberta side running Schneider out of rocks in the eighth end. To reach the final, Team Bottcher finished 4–1 through the round robin. They then won 9–0 over Aaron Sluchinski in the quarterfinal and 5–3 against Johnson Tao in the semifinal. Team Schneider also finished 4–1 before defeating Ryan Wiebe 8–6 in the quarterfinal and Mike McEwen 6–5 in the semifinal. Karsten Sturmay and Yusuke Morozumi rounded out the playoff picture.
The women's final saw a rematch of the 2022 final between Homan and Jones, however, with alternate skips leading their lineups. Heather Nedohin skipped the Homan rink with Rachel Homan on maternity leave while Chelsea Carey filled in for Jennifer Jones. The Jones rink had early control of the match, leading 5–2 after five. Costly mistakes down the stretch, however, allowed Homan to pull ahead with a steal of two in the seventh, eventually going on to win 7–6 in an extra end. Nedohin, skipping the Homan rink of Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes went an undefeated 8–0 through the weekend, scoring playoff wins over Jessie Hunkin and Kate Cameron in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. Carey led the Jones team of Karlee Burgess, Emily Zacharias and Lauren Lenentine to the playoffs with a 4–1 record where they won 7–1 over Satsuki Fujisawa in the quarters and edge Serena Gray-Withers 9–6 in the semis. Corryn Brown and Kerri Einarson both lost in the quarterfinals.
