Professional career Wu played on the Asian Tour in 2008 and 2009. His best finish was a tie for fourth place at the 2009 Singha Thailand Open.
Wu played on the Japan Golf Tour in 2010 and from 2012 to 2015. He won his first title in September 2012, at the Toshin Golf Tournament in Ryosen. He was the first golfer from China to win on the Japan Golf Tour.
Wu played on the OneAsia Tour in 2011, finishing 19th on the Order of Merit for that season.
In 2013, Wu won for the second time on the Japan Golf Tour, with a one-stroke victory at the Heiwa PGM Championship.
