Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will play in his second PGA Tour event closer to home, accepting a sponsor's exemption into the AT&T Byron Nelson.
Romo will tee it up alongside the top Tour players, like Jordan Spieth and Ryan Palmer, at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, his home course, on May 9-12. Aaron Wise, last year's Rookie of the Year on the Tour, will also look to defend his Nelson championship.
"Golf is one of my greatest passions outside my family and football, and I am honored to have the opportunity to compete amongst the pros again in this year's AT&T Byron Nelson," Romo said in a release from the tournament.
