Goh and Tan are also the fifth Malaysian men's doubles pair to hold the world number 1 ranking after Razif Sidek and Jalani Sidek, followed by Cheah and Yap, Chan Chong Ming and Chew Choon Eng, and later on by Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong ever since official rankings were kept in the 80s.

[2][3] Goh represented Malaysia at the 2007 BWF World Junior Championships with Ong Jian Guo where they took the bronze medal.

In 2011, Goh took the men's doubles bronze medal with Lim Khim Wah at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games.

They became bronze medalists at the Asian Championships and won their first tournament together at the Malaysia Grand Prix Gold after defeating teammates and top seeds, Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong in the finals.

They qualified for the World Championships but were defeated in the second round by compatriots, Hoon Thien How and Tan Wee Kiong.

They won the bronze medal at the Southeast Asian Games but their partnership was cut short when Teo suffered an injury from a car accident.

They won their first Superseries tournament at the Malaysia Open after defeating China's Chai Biao and Hong Wei in the final.

At the Malaysia Grand Prix Gold, they were runners-up after being defeated by Danny Bawa Chrisnanta and Chayut Triyachart of Singapore in the final.

In May 2014, Goh was scratch partnered with Tan Wee Kiong to play second men's doubles at the 2014 Thomas Cup.

They represented Malaysia at the 2014 Asian Games where they made it to semifinals but were once again defeated by top seeds, Lee Yong-dae and Yoo Yeon-seong of South Korea.

At the 2015 Sudirman Cup in May, Goh and Tan managed to upset the World No.1 pairing of Lee and Yoo in the first group tie against South Korea.
