Lee Evans (born 18 October 1988) is an English professional darts player who currently plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events.
Evans failed to get a PDC Tour Card for 2015 after he could not get past the last 64 on any of the four days of Q-School. However, he did qualify for the 2015 UK Open, where he defeated Nick Fulwell and Ronny Huybrechts, before losing 9–4 to Vincent van der Voort in the third round, after being 4–1 ahead. Evans won the Gosport Open by beating Richard Kirby 4–1. In October he played in the European Darts Grand Prix and knocked out Jyhan Artut 6–3 and Terry Jenkins 6–4 to reach the last 16 of a PDC event for the first time, where he lost 6–3 to Ian White.
Evans began 2016 brightly by twice reaching the last 16 in the UK Open Qualifiers. He entered the main event at the second round stage and eliminated Rowby-John Rodriguez 6–2, but then lost 9–7 to Jamie Caven. He won through to the final of the 9th Challenge Tour event and was beaten 5–4 by Matt Padgett. He reached the last 16 of a main tour event for the third time this year at the 10th Players Championship with wins over Dave Ladley, Vincent van der Voort and Mervyn King, but was whitewashed 6–0 by Dave Chisnall.
In January 2023, Evans won a two-year PDC Tour Card by finishing second on the UK Q-School Order of Merit.
Evans qualified for the 2023 Players Championship Finals as the 61st seed. He was defeated by 4th seed Dave Chisnall 6–2 in the first round.
Evans qualified for the 2024 World Championship through the ProTour Order of Merit. On debut he whitewashed Sandro Eric Sosing 3–0 in sets, but was himself whitewashed 3–0 by the eventual champion, Luke Humphries, in the second round.
Evans made it to one PDC European Tour event in 2024, through the 2024 International Darts Open (ET3) Tour Card Holder qualifier. He defeated Jermaine Wattimena 6–5 in a deciding leg and Ronny Huybrechts 6–1. Evans lost in the final round of the qualifier to Mike De Decker 6–2, but was the highest ranked final round loser on the ProTour Order of Merit and entered the tournament as the first reserve, as a replacement for Michael van Gerwen. He lost to Callan Rydz 6–1 in the event’s first round.
Evans finished 78th on the 2024 Players Championship Order of Merit, outside the top 64, therefore did not qualify for the 2024 Players Championship Finals.
Evans finished outside on the qualifying places on the ProTour Order of Merit for the 2024/25 World Championship. He therefore participated in the PDPA’s Tour Card Holder Qualifier where he received a bye through the first round as the 9th seed. He defeated Arron Monk 6–3 but lost to Adam Hunt 6–5 in a deciding leg. This meant he failed to qualify for the World Championship and lost his Tour Card due to being outside of the top 65 with £66,750 in ranking money earned over two years.
