Muir failed to qualify for a ranking event during the 2014–15 season. All 128 players on the tour automatically play at the venue stage of the UK Championship and Welsh Open, with Muir being knocked out in the first round 6–5 by Peter Ebdon and 4–1 by Michael White respectively. Muir threatened a comeback in the opening round of the World Championship qualifiers when he rallied from 9–4 down against Cao Yupeng to win four successive frames, but lost the next to be beaten 10–8.&lt;ref name="2014/15"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; Muir would be relegated from the snooker tour as he is finished the season as the world number 99. However, one last 16 and two last 32 finishes in the three Asian Tour events saw him finish 18th on the Asian Order of Merit and claim the first of four places on offer for a new two-year card.
