Sheehan turned professional and joined the [[LPGA Tour]] in 1980. She won [[LPGA#LPGA Tour awards|LPGA Rookie of the Year]] honors in 1981 with her first professional victory coming at the [[Mizuno Classic|Mazda Japan Classic]]. She was strong throughout the 1980s, winning four times in both 1983 and 1984, and winning the [[LPGA Championship]] in both seasons. She won [[LPGA Tour Player of the Year]] in 1983 and was one of several athletes named ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' [[Sportsman of the Year]] in 1987. Sheehan suffered a loss personally in 1989, when her home and possessions were destroyed in the [[1989 Loma Prieta earthquake]]. She also suffered a professional loss in 1990, when after holding an 11-shot lead during the third round of the [[1990 U.S. Women's Open|U.S. Women's Open]], she lost the tournament to [[Betsy King]].

Sheehan started off the 1990s with five wins in 1990. She won the [[U.S. Women's Open]] in 1992 and 1994, the [[Mazda LPGA Championship]] in 1995, and the [[Kraft Nabisco Championship|Nabisco Dinah Shore]] (now known as the Kraft Nabisco Championship) in 1996. That would be her final LPGA victory. She qualified for the LPGA Hall of Fame by winning her 30th tournament in 1993.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=64JQAAAAIBAJ&pg=5317,5429364&dq=sheehan+patty+hall+of+fame&hl=en |title=Sheehan finds fame in Phoenix |newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel |agency=Associated Press |date=March 22, 1993 |page=4B }}</ref> She finished in the Top 10 on the LPGA money list every year from 1982 to 1993. While she never led, she did finish second five times in that span. When she won the U.S. Women's Open and the [[Women's British Open]] in 1992, she became the first golfer to win both in the same year.

Sheehan played on the U.S. [[Solheim Cup]] team five times (1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2002) and captained the team in 2002 and 2003.
