Darts tournament
The 2013 Cash Converters Players Championship Finals 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 29 November–1 December 2013 at the Butlin's Resort Minehead in Minehead , England .
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.[ 1]
