The 2013 Players Championship Finals (also known as the 2013 Cash Converters Players Championship for sponsorship purposes) was the sixth edition of the PDC darts tournament, the Players Championship Finals, which saw the top 32 players from the 2013 PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit taking part. The tournament took place from 30 November to 2 December at the Butlins Minehead Resort in Minehead.
Defending champion, Phil Taylor, who had a superb 2013 in winning the World Championship, the UK Open, the World Matchplay, the Sydney Darts Masters, the World Grand Prix, the Championship League, the Masters and the Grand Slam of Darts, looked on course to win the 2013 Players Championship also, when he led Michael van Gerwen 6–3 in the final. However, Taylor then fell victim to one of van Gerwen's purple patches as van Gerwen came back to win 11–7 and take the 2013 Players Championship title.
This is the final ProTour Order of Merit for 2013 after all Players Championship events, UK Open Qualifiers and European Tour events had been played:
The playing distance from the second round onwards has been reduced with respect to 2012. From the best of 19, 19, 21 and 25 legs to 17, 17, 19 and 21 legs.
