Tony Romo's brutal golf score before getting arrested paints a nightmarish picture

I don’t know Jim!

Yes, Tony Romo is making headlines, again, for all the wrong reasons ahead of this 2026 NFL season.

For those who missed it, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was arrested in Milwaukee Thursday night for allegedly operating while intoxicated.

TONY ROMO ARRESTED IN MILWAUKEE FOR ALLEGED OWI OFFENSE: REPORT

Romo was reportedly stopped on a highway and performed poorly on field sobriety tests, FOX6 in Milwaukee reported. He was released and is due in court Sept. 21.

I’m not here to break down the Xs and Os of Romo’s arrest, and what it might mean for his future at CBS. I don’t care about that. I care about what Romo was doing before his ill-fated drive home.

The 46-year-old was arrested on the same day as the final round of the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf tournament. Romo is an excellent golfer, and was playing in the event. Last week, he played in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament.

His offseasons are mostly spent on a golf course, which is fair. It’s where I’d be, too.

Here’s the thing … this particular event didn’t go great for Romo. Boots on the ground reported that he finished the tournament a whopping 35-over par and won just $60.

Thirty-five over par!

My God. What a card!

Look, I’m not gonna rag on Romo for a bad few days of golf. He’s an elite golfer — for an amateur — and I am awful. I usually sit around 85, and that’s only if my short game cooperates.

It usually doesn’t.

That being said, it’s still wild to see a +35 on the scorecard. Lordy.

Now, the course was obviously a hornets nest. I know this because a quick Google search tells me the winner finished at +3. The cut-line was +15. Sounds like a nightmare. Frankly, it sounds like I’d blow through a dozen Noodles before the turn. Maybe more.

But man, seeing Tony Romo card a +35 and then get pulled over for operating while under the influence is a doozy. I’m not sitting here condoning drinking and then driving, obviously. That’s a big no-no. It should never happen in this day in age. There are Ubers on every corner, even in West Bend, Wisconsin.

After shooting a 12-over in the final round, though? Tough look.

We’ve all been there.
