EVERS’
GREATEST
ACT
By Joe Shangle
Oklahoma pro overcame incredible
challenges – on and off the water –
during career year in 2019
I
t’s a question that causes MLF pro Edwin Evers to pause for a few beats
before answering: “Was 2019 your best season ever?”
Considering a 22-year career that includes 13 major wins and more than
$3.6 million in tournament winnings – including one nine-month period from
2015 to 2016 during which he won two tour-level events, a major champi-
onship and more than a half-million dollars – the Oklahoman’s hesitation is
understandable.
“You know what?” Evers eventually answers. “Yes. I’d have to say that it
was. 2019 was different than all the others for a lot of reasons, but I think it
was my best year as a pro. It was definitely the most memorable.”
