For years been playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 on my laptop (Win10)
Oooooh' I naturally downoaded and installed Novembers New Version......then game would not load properly after the words "It's in the Game" no players icons appear but a pic of Tiger shoots across the screen diagonally to left top... So I tried uninstall all recent updates (no good), then did recovery back to older version of Win1... same problem but intermittent, re-downloaded/installed the new version of Win10
The ANSWER was through deduction after updating and/or installing newer Win10 just go to the Game Installation disc/iso and in the DirectX folder choose dxsetup.exe reinstall it and I've had no problems in 5 days now

Hope this helps

do not have win 10(still use win7 and XP). that being said your solution...so simple...and more than likely will fix a lot of the problems that folks are having with TW08 working on win 10. well done THANKS.

Hi,
I had the same problems mentioned here, and all the tips did not work for me.
In the end I found a very strange and simple solution: replaced the original tw2008.exe with the no-cd-patched tw2008exe.
The game started...no memory or direct x errors...and it seems it is even running smoother and faster than ever.
