Benjamin Evans (born 13 December 1986) is an English professional golfer who has played on the European Tour.
Evans was educated at Claremont Preparatory School, St Leonards-on-Sea and then at Millfield School, Somerset (2000–04).
Evans finished second at The Foshan Open in 2014. [1] This result helped him to a 17th-place finish in the Order of Merit for the 2014 Challenge Tour that gave him conditional status on the European Tour.
In 2015, Evans finished 110th on the European Tour and thus retained full status for the 2016 season. He initially was placed 111th and looked to have missed full status, but later gained full status for 2016 after Brooks Koepka relinquished his European Tour membership for 2016 and was removed from the rankings.

The Official World Golf Ranking is a system for rating the performance level of professional golfers. It was started in 1986. The rankings are based on a player's position in individual tournaments over a "rolling" two-year period. New rankings are calculated each week. During 2018, nearly 400 tournaments on 20 tours were covered by the ranking system. All players competing in these tournaments are included in the rankings. In 2022, 23 tours factored into the world rankings. As well as being of general interest, the rankings have an additional importance, in that they are used as one of the qualifying criteria for entry into a number of leading tournaments.
