The SJM Macao Open also returned to the schedule for the first time since 2017.[6]
Two events from the 2020–22 Asian Development Tour schedule were upgraded to events on the 2023 Asian Tour schedule. They included the Taiwan Glass Taifong Open[7] and the Saudi Open.[8]
The season marked a switch of format in the Order of Merit, which saw it become a points-based system, rather than based on money earned.[9]
