Australian golfer Andrew Evans competing on the PGA Tour.
Andrew Evans is an Australian professional golfer from the Sydney suburb of Hurstville. The Japan Golf Tour records that he began playing golf at age 12 after watching Tiger Woods win the 1997 Masters. He turned professional in 2006 and reached the PGA Tour of Australasia in 2011. Evans developed through Australian professional events and was a trainee at Bexley Golf Club before establishing himself in higher-level competition. His early professional progress included a first Australian-tour top-10 in 2014, a runner-up finish at the 2015 Uniqlo Masters and third place at the 2016 Fiji International, which helped him achieve a career-best 12th position on the Australasian tour money list. Evans began playing in Japan from 2017 and later earned Japan Golf Tour status. His major breakthrough came in 2021 when he won the Queensland Open at Pelican Waters. He also secured Japan Golf Tour qualification through the 2021 final qualifying tournament, overturning a 12-shot deficit on the final day with a closing 65 to finish 12th. In 2022 he made a full Japan Golf Tour campaign, with a best finish of 16th at the Chunichi Crowns and 94th position on the tour money list. The Japan Golf Tour lists his career earnings on that circuit as ¥12,096,682, with no Japan Golf Tour victories and a lowest recorded 18-hole score of 64. The New Zealand Open described him as competing across Australia and Japan and reported tied-24th and tied-30th finishes during the 2025/26 PGA Tour of Australasia season. Known provider data lists his status as inactive on 18 August 2026.
Evans' first major professional breakthrough was winning the 2021 Queensland Open at Pelican Waters. The Japan Golf Tour also records his 2021 final qualifying-tournament performance, where a closing 65 moved him from 12th to a 12th-place overall finish and helped secure Japan Golf Tour playing rights.
Verified career markers include a career-best 12th position on the PGA Tour of Australasia money list in 2016, Japan Golf Tour career earnings of ¥12,096,682, no Japan Golf Tour victories, and a lowest Japan Golf Tour 18-hole score of 64.

Winning the 2021 Queensland Open at Pelican Waters is Evans' defining professional moment. His 2021 Japan Golf Tour qualifying performance was another notable achievement: he shot a final-round 65 to move from 12th position and gain tour status. His lowest recorded Japan Golf Tour round, a 64 at the 2021 Dunlop Srixon Fukushima Open, is also a significant statistical highlight.
