Romo to play AT&T Byron Nelson on sponsor invite

Former NFL quarterback Tony Romo will be returning to the PGA Tour this spring.

The former Dallas Cowboys star and current CBS NFL analyst has accepted a sponsor exemption into this year's AT&T Byron Nelson, played at Trinity Forest in Dallas where Romo is a member.

The 38-year-old is an avid golfer, advancing out of the preliminary stage of Web.com Tour qualifying last year shortly after he captured the celebrity title at the American Century Championship. Romo made his PGA Tour debut on a sponsor invite at last year's Corales Punta Cana Resort & Club Championship, shooting rounds of 77-82 en route to a last-place finish.
