The 1988 U.S. Women's Open remains her only LPGA major, but she won the Women's British Open in 1994, when it was recognised as a major championship by the Ladies European Tour, but not by the LPGA Tour. Her best finish on the LPGA Tour money list is third in 1994, and she also came in the top ten in the money list in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Throughtout her career she has played on on the Ladies European Tour each season, as well as in Asia. In 1994 she topped the European Order of Merit, was voted Golf World’s Most Improved Golfer and Swedish Golfer of the Year.

Neumann played for Europe in the Solheim Cup in 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2000 and in 2006 she won the Women's World Cup of Golf for Sweden in partnership with Annika Sorenstam. She also earned Life Membership of the LET, a feat achieved by 6 other golfers.
