Before appearing in a major tournament Evison was a contestant on Bullseye. He along with his teammate failed however to get to Bully's prize board. He later appeared on the show in 1992 a professional dart player scoring over 300 points in 9 darts in the "Points for Charity" round. Two years prior to this he appeared on the show for the first time after winning the 1989 masters, in which he scored 255 points.
Evison burst on the darts scene in 1986 with a surprise victory over John Lowe in the British Professional Championship, a major televised tournament in that era.
He made his World Championship debut in 1988, and went on to reach the quarter-finals, before losing to Bob Anderson. He returned to the same stage the following year, only to be defeated by Eric Bristow. He avenged that defeat in the final of the prestigious Winmau World Masters later in 1989 to take the title. There was a dip in form between 1990 and 1992, when he won just one match in the World Championship - a first round win over Lowe in 1991.
