Players edit

The World Snooker Tour in the 2022–23 season initially consisted of a field of 131 professional players, but later dropped to 130 when Igor Figueiredo did not renew his WPBSA membership and fell off tour.[1] The top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2022 World Championship, and 30 players earning a two-year card the previous year automatically qualify for the season. The other 36 tour cards are given to the following groups. Four places are allocated to the top four on the One Year Ranking List who have not already qualified for the Main Tour. Nine players from international championships and two players from the Q Tour are offered the tour cards. One player comes from the CBSA China Tour and two players from World Women's Snooker. 16 places are available through the Q School, four from each of the three UK events and two from each of the two Asia-Oceania Q School events). The last two tour cards are invitational tour cards, given to Stephen Hendry and Ken Doherty.

As one of the winners from the inaugural Q School Asia & Oceania qualification event, former professional player Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon was eligible to receive a fresh two-year tour card. However, on 22 June 2022, the WPBSA and the World Snooker Tour declined to offer him a tour card, citing "serious disciplinary matters from when Thanawat was previously a professional player in 2015" as the reason, later announced to be a resumption of a previous investigation into match-fixing that had been closed due to Thanawat having fallen off the tour at the time. His place was therefore offered to Asjad Iqbal, who was the next in line on the Asia-Oceania Q School Order of Merit.[2]
