Excluding hunting and fishing games, Links LS 1999 was the United States' tenth-best-selling computer sports game during 1998, with sales of 95,176 units.[5] In 1999, it was the country's fourth-highest computer sports seller, again discounting hunting, fishing and racing games. It sold 114,784 copies and earned $5.1 million in the region that year.[6]
Links LS 1999 was a finalist for Computer Gaming World's 1998 "Best Sports" award, which ultimately went to FIFA: Road to World Cup 98, FIFA 99 and World Cup 98 (collectively).[7] PC Gamer US likewise nominated Links LS 1999 as the best sports game of 1998, although it lost to NBA Live 99. They wrote, "[W]hile the changes weren't revolutionary, enough was done to keep Links LS 1999 at the forefront of the very competitive golf category."[8]
