Former world No. 1 Shanshan Feng announces retirement from LPGA

The quick-witted, cow-patterned pants wearing, self-professed foodie known as Shanshan Feng is taking her talents elsewhere.

This week, Feng confirmed what was first reported by GolfChannel.com more than a year ago at the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship; she will be officially retiring from competitive golf.

“I thought you were going to say you were so happy to hear I was going to retire!” Feng joked after being introduced during a Zoom call with golf media on Monday.

That’s Shanshan Feng. Always quick with a joke, nothing off limits in her dealings with those she meets, media notwithstanding.
