Tony Romo Disqualified from Korn Ferry Golf Qualifying Tournament After Scorecard Mix-Up
Key Points:
- Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was disqualified from a Korn Ferry Tour pre-qualifier tournament for signing an incorrect scorecard after his third round.
- Romo's scorecard showed lower scores on the 16th and 17th holes than he actually made, which under PGA Tour rules leads to disqualification unless corrected within 15 minutes.
- Despite the disqualification, Romo's third-round performance would not have been sufficient to advance to the next stage of Korn Ferry Q-School.
- Romo played the round alongside college golfer Ethan Smith and professional Brandon Rice, with Rice noting the scoring discrepancy.
- Recently, Romo and CBS Sports mutually ended their broadcasting partnership, and he pleaded no contest to an operating while intoxicated charge following a July arrest.
