The 2004 M&M Meat Shops Masters of Curling was held from December 9 to 12, 2004 at the Elgar Petersen Arena in Humboldt, Saskatchewan.[1] The event was one of the four men's Grand Slams of the 2004–05 curling season.[2]

Winnipeg's Jeff Stoughton rink won the event, defeating Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan's Pat Simmons rink in the final, 5–4. Stoughton won the event by stealing a point in the 11th end, and took home $30,000 for the win. Simmons won $18,000. It was Stoughton's second career Grand Slam win.[3]

The event had a triple knockout format. The top 12 teams (as of August 30) in the world qualified, plus the top 2 teams on the World Curling Tour money list (as of November 21), plus one European team and one sponsor exemption. The total purse for the event was $100,000.[1] The WCT second ranked Glenn Howard rink and the fifth ranked Wayne Middaugh rink did not participate, as they were participating in the playdowns for the 2005 Ontario Kia Cup.[2]

The semifinals and finals aired on Sportsnet.[2]
