Tony Romo withdraws from Texas State Open after OWI arrest

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo was arrested in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 23 for operating while intoxicated (OWI) after performing poorly on standard field‑sobriety tests. The first‑offense charge is treated as a civil traffic violation in Wisconsin, with a court date set for September 21 and a possible fine of $150‑$300.

Following the arrest, Romo pulled out of the 56th M&P Group Texas State Open in Tyler, Texas, prompting tournament organizers to cancel his scheduled Q&A session. The withdrawal ends his participation in an event he has entered nine times and marks the latest public consequence of his legal issue. Romo, a native of Burlington, Wisconsin, continues his role as a lead NFL analyst for CBS.
