Just a follow up to this problem,have tried Jo Summers suggestion with no success,still getting these 2 msgs

The Game does not support this video card (and may be unstable)
Direct X is reporting there is not enough video memory to run this game.
His PC is running DirectX 11,16GB ram,Gforce GTX 970 with 4Gb ram

Any suggestions?
Thx Lou

I found this, quote:
I've spent ages trying to fix this issue, wish I found this thread.

I do have another workaround however, where you don't have to restrict RAM so I'll put it here as another option.

Step One:-

Go to http://dege.freeweb.hu/ and download the latest version of DG Voodoo.

Step Two:-

Extract the DGVoodoo Setup program and DDraw.dll and D3Dlmm.dll files into the bin directory of your Tiger Woods 08 install.

Step Three:-

Run the DgVoodoo setup program.

Step Four:-

Head to the directX tab and uncheck "Disable and passthru to real DirectX".

Step Five:-

In the VRAM drop box, type a reasonable value like 520000 KB (note the space between the number and KB) - while it is a drop down box with 3 values, it accepts typed ones as well.

Note- The resolution changes didn't work for me here, so I had to use the universal widescreen program (from widescreengaming) and the Tiger 2004 (Custom Menu) res patch to get 1920x1080.

Step Six:-

Run the game, and hey presto. Can confirm this works for Tiger 07 as well.

My Setup:- FX8350/Radeon HD7950 3GB/16GB Memory

Had the same error message with a game recently, went into the nvidia panel and switched physx settings from auto detect to geforce card. Solved the problem.
