Jessica Simpson’s ex-NFL-star boyfriend and current CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo has dropped out of an upcoming golf tournament after he was arrested on suspicion of operating while under the influence on Thursday night.
Romo, 46, withdrew from the 56th M&P Group Texas State Open golf tournament, https://www.kltv.com/2026/07/26/tony-romo-withdraws-texas-state-open-tyler-after-drunk-driving-arrest/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.kltv.com/2026/07/26/tony-romo-withdraws-texas-state-open-tyler-after-drunk-driving-arrest/">KETK first reported on Sunday. “Although we’re disappointed he won’t be joining us, we’re still looking forward to an exciting week of competitive golf,” the Cascades Country Club, which is hosting the tournament, said in an email, according to the outlet.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was arrested in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Thursday night after he had participated in the https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tony-romo-gave-child-qb-203817812.html" rel="">Wisconsin State Amateur Golf Championship earlier in the day.
Romo was stopped by police along the I-43 highway around 6 p.m. before failing multiple sobriety tests and being taken into custody.
The CBS Sports NFL analyst had played poorly at the Wisconsin tournament, scoring 35-over par and tying for 74th place.
His court date is scheduled for Sept. 21.
Romo joined CBS as an NFL analyst in April 2017, one year after he retired from professional football.

Romo dated Jessica Simpson from 2007 to 2009.
Simpson spilled on the breakup in her 2020 memoir, Open Book, claiming Romo ended the romance after discovering text messages between the pop star and her ex-boyfriend, John Mayer.
She denies any infidelity.
