The 2013 Masters (officially the 2013 Betfair Masters) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament held between 13 and 20 January 2013 at the Alexandra Palace in London, England. This was the first time that Betfair sponsored the event. The event was broadcast live on Eurosport and BBC.

Mark Selby won his third Masters title by defeating defending champion Neil Robertson 10–6 in the final. With this Selby became the sixth player to win the Masters more than two times after Cliff Thorburn, Stephen Hendry, Paul Hunter, Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan. Selby also became the first player to win back-to-back Triple Crown titles since Mark Williams 10 years before. This was Selby's 11th professional title.

Field

Defending champion Neil Robertson was the number 1 seed. World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan did not compete. The remaining places were allocated to players based on the latest world rankings (revision 3) except that Stephen Lee, ranked 9, did not play because he was suspended. As a consequence Mark Davis, ranked 17, was invited and seeded 16.

Prize fund

The total prize money of £500,000 was unchanged from the previous year but the distribution was changed with the winner receiving £175,000, an increase of £25,000. The breakdown of prize money for this year is shown below:

  • Winner: £175,000
