The top eight of the PDC Order of Merit in June 2013 qualified for the event. [3] These were:

  1. Flag of England.svg Phil Taylor (winner)
  2. Flag of the Netherlands.svg Michael van Gerwen (runner-up)

  4. Flag of England.svg James Wade (withdrew)

  7. Flag of the Netherlands.svg Raymond van Barneveld (first round)
  8. Flag of Australia (converted).svg Paul Nicholson (quarter-finals)

James Wade was suspended by the PDC for bringing the game into disrepute and was replaced by world number 19 and Australian World Cup player Paul Nicholson. Nicholson was already entered into the tournament as he received a DPA invitation but he was now the number eight seed. An additional place was therefore on offer to the leading non-qualified player from the Oceanic Masters. [4]
