Amateur career

Professional career

Cévaër turned professional in 1993. He has spent most of his professional career playing on the European Tour. Inconsistent form has necessitated several trips to the European Tour Qualifying School. Due to his inconsistent play he has also been forced to play on the developmental Challenge Tour.
