How to play PGA Tour '98 on Mac

Game summary

Go on the links with EA Sports' PGA TOUR '98. The game features five championship courses: the exclusively licensed Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Bay Hill Club, TPC of Scottsdale, Colonial Country Club, and TPC at Sawgrass. Each course has been designed using actual blueprints of the real courses, resulting in amazingly realistic graphics. Every hole features the real characteristics and surroundings of the real thing, including trees on the fairways, sloping hills, huge bunkers, and tricky greens. Compete as or against 14 PGA Tour pros, including Mark O'Meara, Lee Janzen, Davis Love III, and Brad Faxon. All 14 pros' swings and unique post-shot reactions were digitized into the game to give you the most realistic golf experience imaginable.
First released: Oct 1997

Play PGA Tour '98 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play PGA Tour '98 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
