Over the years, Mawson became a regular at the World Matchplay, reaching the last sixteen in 1998 and 1999. In 1996, he made his debut at the PDC World Championship but struggled, getting stuck in the group stage. His best result came in 1999 when he won his first-round match against Ritchie Gardner 3-0 before losing 3-2 to John Ferrell. A year earlier, he reached the quarterfinals of the World Grand Prix, which stood as his best result for a long time. That changed in 2008 during the UK Open. By then, Mawson had moved to the USA and chose to represent the country. His journey to the UK Open was nearly derailed when he forgot his passport but was still allowed to board the plane. Once in Bolton, he defeated several top players, including Darren Johnson, Mark Frost, Alex Roy, Mark Lawrence, Mark Dudbridge, and Wayne Jones, to reach the semifinals. There, he shocked the darts world by beating Raymond van Barneveld 10-8, ending his 16-match unbeaten streak. However, in the final, James Wade defeated him 11-7.
