Tony Romo OWI arrest and golf withdrawal

Entities: Texas State Open · CBS Sports · Milwaukee, Wisconsin · Tony Romo · Dallas Cowboys

Overview

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS NFL analyst Tony Romo was stopped by Milwaukee County deputies on July 23, 2026 while driving southbound on Interstate 43 near downtown Milwaukee. Officers noted signs of impairment, administered field‑sobriety tests, and arrested Romo on a first‑offense operating‑while‑intoxicated (OWI) charge. He was booked into the county jail and released about an hour later.

Romo was in Wisconsin to compete in the 125th Wisconsin State Amateur Golf Championship in West Bend, where he finished tied for 73rd. After the arrest, he withdrew from the 56th M&P Group Texas State Open in Tyler, Texas, prompting organizers to cancel his scheduled Q&A session. The withdrawal ends his participation in an event he had entered nine times.

Media coverage also noted his wife, journalist Candice Crawford Romo, and her brother, actor Chace Crawford, though neither has commented. Romo, his representatives, and CBS have offered no statement on the legal matter. He is slated to appear in court on September 21, 2026; a first‑offense OWI in Wisconsin typically carries a $150‑$300 fine and possible driver‑license sanctions.
