Players

The World Snooker Tour in the 2023–24 season consists of a field of up to 134 professional players.[1] The top 68 players from the prize money rankings after the 2023 World Championship, and up to 35 players earning a two-year card the previous year automatically qualify for the season.[2] Next, 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, two players from the Q Tour, three players from the CBSA China Tour and two players from World Women's Snooker are offered the tour cards. A further 8 places were available through the 2023 Q School, four from the two events. The Asia-Oceania Q School would provide four more places to the finalists of the two events held this year. The last tour card is an invitational tour card, given to Marco Fu.
