Tony Romo faced a disqualification in a Korn Ferry Tour pre-qualifier tournament when his scorecard showed a lower score than what was recorded by playing partner Brandon Rice. This occurred on the same day CBS announced they were cutting ties with Romo early due to a DUI arrest months prior, saving them $180 million over four years of contract termination. The scoring discrepancy led to Romo's disqualification from the tournament and highlighted ongoing issues in his career transition post-NFL.

Story summary
On the same day Tony Romo was officially released by CBS Sports, he faced a scoring controversy during a Korn Ferry Tour pre-qualifier tournament. The former NFL quarterback needed an even par score to advance but marked his final round score as 74, which would have been insufficient for qualifying. Playing partner Brandon Rice reported that Romo scored a 5 on hole 16 instead of the 4 he had recorded. An unnamed pro monitoring the group's pace noted additional discrepancies on holes 14 and 15, indicating a two-stroke difference from what Romo had claimed. According to PGA Tour rules, signing for a lower score than played results in disqualification, which is likely what happened to Romo that day. This incident occurred just after his exit from CBS following a DUI arrest earlier in the year, complicating his transition into golf commentary and playing careers.
