Mason turned professional in 1999 after a successful amateur career which included reaching the semifinals of The Amateur Championship in 1998. [1] He joined the second-tier Challenge Tour in 2001 and from 2003 to 2005 he played full-time on the European Tour, where his best finish was second in the 2003 Aa St Omer Open.

In 2006 Mason returned to playing the Challenge Tour full-time, where he recorded his first professional win in 2007 at the Open Mahou de Madrid.
