PGA Tour Golf was a pioneering sports game that introduced many conventions seen in the genre today. The three-click control method allowed players to execute various shots with precision, requiring a sense of timing and strategy. This innovative approach set a new standard for golf games.
The game featured four courses, including a unique 'links' course designed by the programmers themselves. Some holes presented challenging obstacles such as bunkers, water hazards, and trees, making it essential to plan ahead and develop tactics to reach the green. Players had to think critically to navigate these difficulties.
When competing in tournaments, players faced 60 opponents, each representing top US golfers. Among them were ten real-life golfers, whose advice was provided for specific holes throughout the game. This added an extra layer of realism and challenge, as players had to adapt their strategies to overcome the strengths and weaknesses of their virtual opponents.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sports simulation game that lets players experience some of the most prestigious and challenging golf courses on the PGA TOUR, including Sawgrass, Avenel, La Quinta, and Eagle Trace. Players must master their club selection and shot precision to navigate diverse hazards like narrow fairways, deep bunkers, and unforgiving water obstacles. By taking calculated risks and adapting to the unique layout of each course, players compete to match the legendary performances of professional golfers.
Story
THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
Tournament Players Club [TPC] at Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra, Florida
When the PGA TOUR went looking for a permanent site for THE PLAYERS Championship, TOUR officials saw beauty and greatness in a lush tropical setting near Ponte Vedra.
The designer for this first "Stadium" course was the notorious Pete Dye. His mission was to build a course that would challenge the players and provide lots of spectator amenities, including unobstructed views of the golfing action. Dye succeeded admirably!
Three of the first nine holes are ranked among the 100 hardest holes in the USA. The pressure-packed precision required by almost every shot is offset perfectly by the spacious serenity of the course. And from well-positioned mounds and amphitheaters, the fans can see it all!
No detail was overlooked at Sawgrass. The 6,857 yards of the course are beautifully integrated into the natural terrain rather than being imposed on it. And the challenging combination of narrow fairways, extensive water hazards, and wide sand bunkers make the course a perfect location for THE PLAYERS Championship.
Every year this tournament gathers the 144 best PGA TOUR professionals to pit their skills against the course, and golfing fans around the world have been thrilled by their outstanding performances. Among the most memorable feats were Fred Couples' astonishing 64 (8 under) in the first round of the 1984 tournament and Mark McCumber's incredible record-setting victory round of 273 in 1988.
KEMPER OPEN
Tournament Players Club [TPC] at Avenel, Potomac, MD
In typical TPC fashion, the layout of the course at Avenel, with its natural amphitheaters and sculpted mounds, offers spectators unobstructed views of all the golfing action. The mixed topography of the rolling Maryland countryside requires a player to take a substantial number of risks to win. Like all great courses, Avenel demands good shots, and penalizes poor ones.
Avenel is the home of the Kemper Open, the oldest continuously corporate-sponsored golf tournament on the PGA TOUR. Since its inception, the tournament has given Kemper the opportunity to donate more than one million dollars to local and national charities.
The course itself is a wonder of diversified design. At almost 7,000 yards in length, the successful player needs to control every club in the bag to score well consistently. Elevated tees, a variety of doglegs, tiered greens, rock runs, and water hazards contribute to the course's exciting character.
The scenic and demanding 9th hole is typical of Avenel: It's not long, but the elevated tee complicates the player's perspective. Ponds guard the front and right side of the green; a bunker looms on the left. In short, the course is a great shotmaker's paradise.
THE SKINS GAME
Stadium Course at La Quinta, California
The TPC Stadium Course at La Quinta is the current site of The Skins Game. The USGA rates it as one of the 100 greatest golf courses in the world. That means it's beautiful—and tough. In fact, faint-hearted hackers simply expire here.
A dizzying collection of valleys, swales, mounds, cavernous bunkers, and merciless water hazards give a case of the shakes to even the most courageous players. Course designer Pete Dye has created fairways that are thin ribbons of undulating turf. Unforgiving sand, pot hole, and fairway bunkers make every shot an adventure.
Most greens are hidden and conspiratorial. Like all great courses, it demands your best shot every time you address the ball. If you try to play safe, you'll get burned.
Each hole is descriptively named, and the pros know these aren't jokes. The signature bunkers of the San Andreas Fault (16) and Eternity (11) are duffers' nightmares. Amen (6), ranked among the 18 toughest pars in the USA, is thought by some to be the hardest hole on the planet.
HONDA CLASSIC
Eagle Trace at Coral Springs, Florida
Home of the prestigious Honda Classic, the course at Eagle Trace was the second of the Tournament Players Clubs built specifically for the PGA Tour. Art Hills designed the course in 1984, hauling in millions of cubic yards of dirt to sculpt the many hills and amphitheaters enclosing several of the greens.
With its elegant clubhouse mansion, his intent was to create the colonial feel of northern clubs; but the course itself is modelled more along the lines of the famed Muirfield links in Scotland.
The front nine describe a clockwise circle, and the back nine run counter-clockwise, so that skilled players are often forced to change their long shots from a fade to a draw midway through a round. But unlike the Scottish course, where "bump

How to Play
Welcome to PGA TOUR Golf
Welcome to the first round of THE HONDA CLASSIC. I'm your host Bing Gordon and with me is EASN's Bob Zdybel.
PGA TOUR Golf lets you compete against the TOUR's most formidable pros on some of the finest, most challenging golf courses in the world. Just like your favorite TOUR players, you'll need to size up and execute special shots from a variety of lies, overcome the pressure of a win-it-all putt from the fringe, and defend your hard-earned reputation as a master of coordination, touch, and power.
Pick the right club, make the perfect swing and experience the thrill of holing-out on the famous 17th at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) at Sawgrass. Then try to blend your skill and discipline to tame the mountainous bunkers and undulating swales of the PGA West Stadium Course at La Quinta. Test your driving accuracy at Eagle Trace, where you're forced to negotiate an imposing system of canals. Or try to reach the notorious tiered green of the 13th at the TPC at Avenel with a middle iron, hitting through a driving cross-wind.

Tips & Maps
SELECT OLD PLAYER
Press control pad down to the LOCKER SELECT line, scroll through the available lockers with left/right, and press START to select the player.
DELETE PLAYER
Select an old player not currently in use, navigate to DELETE PLAYER, press A, and confirm the deletion. Note that deleting a player included in a saved game will also delete that saved game.
The Punch Shot
Select this from the Special Shots menu when in the rough or sand to safely get the ball back to the fairway. It travels a shorter distance but prevents flubbing, whiffing, or shanking the shot.
Go For The Green In Two?-Only for the Brave
Reaching the green in two on the 11th hole requires a massive drive and crossing a large sand area. Woods or long irons hitting the green on the fly will skip off, so laying up or using specific swing strategies is recommended.
Approaching the Green
Check your ball lie by pressing B before your shot, as it greatly affects how the ball reacts. Club selection is crucial because different clubs cause the ball to skip, bite, or roll back upon hitting the green.
The Chip Shot
Press X to change to this shot type when close to the green or on the fringe to fly the ball slightly and let it roll to the hole. It is not recommended to use this shot from bad lies in the rough or sand traps.
Playing To The Green From A Bunker
The deeper a ball is buried in the sand, the more it will roll upon hitting the green. Check the Grid View to see how the green's contours will affect the ball once it lands.
Backspin-How To Use It
Shorter irons naturally cause the ball to roll backward on the green, so aiming past the pin can bring the ball closer to the hole. Be cautious near the back of the green, as landing on the fringe removes the backspin.
Fringe Putting
The game auto-selects the putter when you land on the fringe, though you can press X to switch to a chip shot. Putting from the fringe requires hitting the ball harder than on the green due to the longer grass.
Tips On Putting
Reaching the green is only half the battle, as putting presents many challenges. Players must carefully read the green to successfully get down in two putts.
