Hi Niels. Took a quick look and on first blush looks legit. Have you tried running it in compatibility mode. I know that used to work for me when I had older programs and used a PC (I've gone to the dark side).
 
If it was me, I would give it a try.

I downloaded the dgVoodoo v2.53 version and opened the zip just to see what's in it.

After you open the zip you need to open the MS folder and there's your 3 .dll files you need to cut and paste.

As your link says.....

"...copy the three .dll files you find there, D3D8.dll D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll then paste these three files into \Electronic Arts\Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08\bin folder. DO NOT place these files ANYWHERE else on the hard drive or in the system folders, you have been warned, ONLY in the mentioned games folder."

However, on page 2 of your Microsoft Solution link one person said it didn't work and two couldn't access the dgvoodoo page.

A good thing is, no said their computer blew up...!!

Good luck my friend and congrats on the new computer.
 
Thank you both. The link also had something like 26 likes, but I do like to be cautious.

Niels
