Parsons was born in Orange, New South Wales. As an amateur, he won both the Australian and New Zealand Amateur Championships in 1991.[1] He turned professional the following year and joined the PGA Tour of Australasia.

Parsons won seven tournaments on the PGA Tour of Australasia, including the New Zealand Open in 1995.

His best season-end ranking on the European Tour Order of Merit was 37th in 2000, the year he won the Greg Norman Holden International, also a PGA Tour of Australasia event.
