In 2017, he finished top of the DPA Australian Pro Tour ranking table, and made hisPDC World Championship debut in the2018 event.^[2] In the preliminary round he faced Japan'sSeigo Asada, to whom he lost 1–2 in sets.

In 2018, Mathers continued playing in Australia on the DPA circuit, winning a tournament inHobart and making it to the final on two other occasions. In August he played in theBrisbane Darts Masters, a tournament that was a part of the PDC'sWorld Series of Darts, where he lost in the first round 1–6 toRaymond van Barneveld.

In 2019, Mathers won two DPA tournaments inEast Devonport and in April he won the Sunshine State Classic, a tournament organised by theBDO, where he defeated Jeremy Fagg in the final.

Mathers attempted to get aPDC Tour Card inPDC Q-School 2020, his best result being a last 64 on the last day and hence did not gain his Tour Card. After that, Mathers stayed for the first four tournaments of the PDC Challenge Tour, reaching the semi-final of the third tournament. He returned to Australia and at the end of the season he topped the DPA Pro Tour, which secured him a spot in the2021 PDC World Darts Championship. There, he lost 0–3 in the first round againstMax Hopp.

In January 2021 he played in UK Q-School and although he was unable to win the Tour Card directly, he placed 8th in the UK Q-School Order of Merit and earned a two-year Tour Card. In his first season as a professional, he played in the2021 UK Open, where he lost in the first round toKirk Shepherd. Throughout the season, Mathers appeared only in Players Championship tournaments and failed to qualify for any other major tournaments. In November he lost in the final of the PDPA Qualifier for the2022 PDC World Darts Championship againstNick Kenny. He served as a second reserve player for the World Championship and after the withdrawals ofCharles Losper (replaced byMike De Decker) and Juan Rodriguez, Mathers entered the tournament as the second highest ranked runner-up from the PDPA Qualifier.^[3] In the first round he played Jason Heaver and lost 1–3 in sets.^[4] He lost his Tour Card at the end of 2022.

After a period without a Tour Card, Mathers played mainly on the DPA Pro Tour and after taking advice from his family and the past tragedy of his father dying at just 57 due to heart failure, Mathers underwent the body transformation in 2024 following a 50kg weight loss.^[5]

Mathers made a notable comeback by winning the DPA Oceanic Masters in October 2024, where he enjoyed straight-sets 2–0 wins over Brian Corbett andCraig Caldwell in his opening two matches, before enjoying a trio of 3–1 victories on his way to the title. He saw off New Zealand'sMark Cleaver in the quarter-finals and then overcame emerging youngster Jaymie Hilton-Jones in the semifinals, after what he met Harley Kemp in final. After losing the final's opening leg, Mathers won six in a two to open up a two-set lead, with Kemp taking the third in a decider before wrapping up victory by taking the fourth 3–1.
