Feng started playing golf in China at age 10, then moved to the U.S at 17 after being discovered in China and offered a golf academy scholarship in the United States of America. She won the China Junior Championship and the China Junior open in 2004, then went on to become a three-time winner of the China Amateur tournament. She won medalist honors as a member of the 2006 All-China Championship Team and was named Golfweek's Top Chinese Amateur in 2007. She has had 9 victories on the ladies' professional golf tour since becoming a member in 2008. Feng was ranked first in Women's World Golf Rankings from November 2017 – April of 2018 and is the first player from mainland China to win a major championship. In 2017, Feng opened the Shanshan Feng Golf Academy near her hometown of Guangzhou to help other children in China learn to play.

"We are excited to bring a championship female golfer who is a pioneer both on and off the golf course," says Jason Masherah, President at Upper Deck.
