TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has withdrawn from the 56th M&P Group Texas State Open golf tournament, according to Cascades Country Club.
Due to his withdrawal, the scheduled Q&A for Monday has been canceled, a spokesperson for the country club wrote in an email.
“Although we’re disappointed he won’t be joining us, we’re still looking forward to an exciting week of competitive golf,” the email read.
Romo, a color analyst for the lead NFL broadcast team on CBS, was arrested and released Friday in Milwaukee on a first-offense operating while intoxicated charge, according to ABC affiliate WISN.

WISN reports that the arrest report says Romo was stopped around 8 p.m. Thursday while driving south on I-43 and performed poorly on field sobriety tests.
Romo is a yearly contender in the tournament. Last year, he played two rounds, shooting a 69 in the first and a 76 in the second. That performance missed the cut to continue in the tournament.
Organized by the Northern Texas section of the PGA of America, the tournament has been held in Tyler since 2018.
The 56th M&P Group Texas State Open is set to tee off Monday and run through Friday.
