History

2022/2023 season

As Iqbal's tour card was only granted by Order of Merit, after Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon was finally denied the same on 1 September 2022 due to disciplinary issues, he wasn't able to take part in the first tournaments of the tour calendar. The first professional tournament he was able to attend, was the 2022 Scottish Open, but he lost in the qualification round. He secured his first win on tour against the experienced Barry Pinches at the UK Championship qualifying in November 2022.
