Neutral Summary

On the same day he finalized a settlement to leave CBS Sports, former NFL quarterback Tony Romo was disqualified from a Korn Ferry Tour pre-qualifier golf tournament in Oklahoma. The disqualification stemmed from a scorecard discrepancy where Romo signed for a score lower than what his playing partner and a tournament official recorded. Tournament officials noted that Romo was under pressure from a slow-play warning and personal stress following a summer arrest for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Romo accepted the ruling and will reportedly receive a significant portion of the remaining $72 million from his CBS contract.
