The 2019 Masters were held from October 22 to 27, at the North Bay Memorial Gardens in North Bay, Ontario. It was the first Grand Slam and first major of the 2019–20 season.

In the Men’s final, Matt Dunstone beat Brad Gushue 8–5 to win the title. It is Dunstone’s first Grand Slam final appearance and victory, having only made it as far as the quarterfinals in all of his previous slams.

In the Women’s final, Tracy Fleury defeated Sayaka Yoshimura 7–5 to claim the title. It was Fleury’s first Grand Slam victory, having finished runner-up at two previous slams. It was also a record set by Yoshimura who is the first women’s team from Asia to make a Grand Slam final, excluding defunct events.

The total attendance for the event was about 40,000, a record for any Grand Slam event.[1]
