Charles E. "Chick" Evans Jr. (July 18, 1890 – November 6, 1979) was a prominent American amateur golfer of the 1910s and 1920s.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Evans' family moved to Chicago when he was eight years old, and he grew up on the north side of the city.

He attended secondary school at the Evanston Academy, and won the 1907 and 1908 Western Interscholastic tournaments.

[3] Simpson graciously praised Evans on his victory, saying “I’ve learned the greatest golf lesson of my life today.

Evans played his last rounds of competitive golf in 1968, winning the Illinois Open that year.

[1] After his retirement, Evans continued to attend events as a spectator and converse with the fans and players.

Evans, who was unable to finish his own matriculation at Northwestern University, recalled that his mother "wouldn't think of accepting my money unless we could arrange it to be trusted to furnish educations for deserving qualified caddies."

Blunt, an avid golfer and philanthropist, supported Evans' vision for helping caddies attend colleges and universities across the country by raising the necessary funds for decades.

On February 19, 2014, the Evans Scholars Foundation announced their plans to build a new chapter house at the University of Oregon.
