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

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS broadcaster Tony Romo was arrested in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, marking an unwelcome headline for him ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The arrest coincided with a much-mocked scorecard from a recent celebrity or charity golf outing, which sports commentators have seized on as painting a grim overall picture of Romo's recent form and public image.

Details of the arrest remain limited, with reports indicating the incident occurred on a Thursday night in Milwaukee, though the exact charges and circumstances had not been fully confirmed at the time of writing. The story has been picked up widely by sports outlets, pairing the legal trouble with commentary on his poor golf performance to frame it as a difficult period for the former NFL star turned television analyst.
