Romo Disqualified from Korn Ferry Qualifier on Same Day CBS Split Announced

Tony Romo was disqualified from a Korn Ferry Tour pre-qualifier in Oklahoma for submitting an incorrect scorecard, coinciding with the announcement of his mutual separation from CBS Sports. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback had signed for lower scores on the 16th and 17th holes than he actually shot, a violation that resulted in disqualification despite his acknowledgment of the error. This event occurred during a turbulent period for Romo, who had recently pleaded no contest to an operating while intoxicated charge and was exiting his nine-year role as CBS's lead NFL analyst. While the scorecard error prevented his advancement, his third-round performance would not have secured a spot on the tour regardless. The simultaneous nature of the golf disqualification and the broadcasting split highlighted a challenging transition for Romo, though Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly supported his future prospects.
