The 2003 M&M Meat Shops Masters of Curling was held from January 9 to 12, 2003 in Sudbury, Ontario. The event was one of the four men's Grand Slams of the 2002–03 curling season.
The total purse for the event was $100,000, with $25,000 going to the winning team. The format was a triple knockout.
Edmonton, Alberta's Kevin Martin rink defeated Vic Peters of Winnipeg, Manitoba in the final, 8–7. Peters played in the event with a broken foot.[1] It was Martin's seventh straight event win on the World Curling Tour, and his second slam title of the season.[2]
The semifinals and finals were shown on Sportsnet. The event was held on the same weekend as the 2003 Canada Cup of Curling, another major Canadian curling tournament.[3] The Canada Cup, which was televised on CBC won the ratings battle with 350,000 viewers for the women's final on the Saturday and 435,000 for the men's final on Sunday, while 145,000 viewed the Masters semi (same time slot as the Canada Cup men's final) and 288,000 viewed the Masters final on Sunday night.[4]
