I just received this response from Steam support. Luckily, I can still play the game on my phone.
Hello,

In the meantime, the best source for further troubleshooting steps and suggestions can be found in the Steam for Linux community discussion to see if other users have found a way to play WGT Golf using Steam Play, as well as consulting our Proton - Quick-start Guide.
