She was the first player from China to become a member of the LPGA Tour, which she joined in 2008. Feng had 10 victories on the tour, including the 2012 LPGA Championship, a major title, in which she shot a bogey-free 67 in the final round to win by two strokes.[2] She was the first player from China to win an LPGA major championship, as well as the first player from mainland China (male or female) to have won a major championship.[3][4] Her best finish in 16 previous majors was a tie for 22nd at the 2012 Kraft Nabisco Championship.[5][6] With the victory, she moved from tenth to fifth in the Women's World Golf Rankings.[7] On 20 August 2016, Feng won the Olympic bronze medal in women's golf at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.[8] From November 2017 to April 2018, she was first in the Women's World Golf Rankings.[9]
In August 2022, Feng announced her retirement from professional golf.[10][11][12][13]
