Players

The World Snooker Tour in the 2022–23 season consists of a field of 130 professional players.[1] The top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2022 World Championship, and 31 players earning a two-year card the previous year automatically qualify for the season. The other 35 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. Seven players from International Championships and two players from the Q Tour are offered the tour cards. Two players come from CBSA China Tour and another two from World Women's Snooker Championship. 12 places are available through the Q School (four Event 1 winners, four Event 2 winners, and four Event 3 winners). Four places are offered to the new Asia-Oceania Q School (two Event 1 winners and two Event 2 winners). The last two tour cards are invitational tour cards, given to Stephen Hendry and Ken Doherty.
