Key Points:
- Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS analyst Tony Romo was disqualified from the final round of a Korn Ferry pre-qualifier tournament on October 2 for signing an incorrect scorecard with lower scores than he actually shot.
- Romo signed for a 4 on holes 16 and 17, while his marker recorded a 4 and 5, and a subsequent review suggested Romo likely scored 5 and 5 on those holes.
- Romo accepted responsibility for the mistake and was automatically disqualified under PGA Tour rules for signing for a lower score, although the disqualification did not affect his overall outcome as he had not made the cut.
- PGA Tour rules official Rob Keller cited factors such as Romo's frustration with his play and the slow pace of their group, which led to being put on a clock, as contributing to the error.
- Romo, who had a notable NFL and broadcasting career with CBS, parted ways with the network in July following his arrest for operating while intoxicated after a golf event.
