2023 Players Open

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. The event was held in a round-robin format with a $70,000 purse on both the men's and women's side. 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.

The Dirty Nil played in concert on the first night of the event.

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.
