As a player on the AVP tour, Wong played on the tour from 2002-08. Wong has advanced to the semifinals with three different partners, first accomplishing it with Jason Ring in their second tournament together. In Tempe in 2005, playing for the second time with Mark Williams, the duo advanced from the qualifier to a third-place finish. After playing 11 matches in three days, the pair set the record for the highest finish on the AVP Tour by a qualifier. Wong ranked 10th in digs (510) and kills (1,020) on the AVP Tour in 2005.
