Dyson was born in York. In 1999, he was runner-up in the English Amateur and won the Finnish Amateur title. He was also a member of the Great Britain & Ireland Walker Cup team that year, before turning professional in September.
In 2000, Dyson topped the Asian Tour Order of Merit after winning three tournaments on that tour, and was also Rookie of the Year. He also played a small number of events on the European Tour in 2000. Since 2001 he has played mainly on the European Tour, and has finished in the top 100 on the Order of Merit seven times. In March 2006 he won his maiden European Tour title at the Enjoy Jakarta Indonesia Open and he followed up later that year by winning the KLM Open in a play-off. These victories helped him to finish a career-high 21st place on the Order of Merit and into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
His most successful year came in 2009 when he won the KLM Open for a second time.Then in October Dyson shot a six-under final round of 66 to take victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.Dyson finished the season ranked 8th on the Race to Dubai.
In July 2011, Dyson won for the fifth time on the European Tour at the Irish Open. When Dyson finished his round with a 67, he was the co-leader with Richard Green, who was one group behind him. Dyson even had a putt on the 18th to go one stroke clear, but it slipped past the edge of the hole. However, when Green only found the front edge of the 18th green with his approach shot, he took three putts to get down for his bogey meaning that Dyson was declared outright winner by one stroke. This win elevated Dyson to 9th on the Race to Dubai list and earned him a place in the following week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Dyson also broke into the Official World Golf Ranking top 50.] In September 2011, Dyson won his third KLM Open title to move into the world's top 30 for the first time.
