Make no mistake about it, Tony Romo is officially done playing football.

Now transitioning to the role as lead analyst for CBS, the former Dallas Cowboys' quarterback intentionally left the door cracked for a potential return to the field -- having not yet filed his retirement paperwork with the NFL, and declaring he was "99% gone".

Those two points led some to pontificate on any potential scenarios in which the four-time pro bowler would return, but it looks like they can hang those hopes on the hook next to Romo's cleats.

Why? Because it's time for him to hit the major links, that's why.

Romo is an avid golfer that stepped away from the sport in 2013, citing his love and full-on dedication to football. Now with that no longer a concern, he's already played in the Azalea Invitational -- missing the cut, but pushing his appetite for more.

And he's now officially gone from mentoring No. 4, to screaming out "fore" on a regular basis.

The 2017 U.S. Open is slated to take place June 12 – June 18 at Erin Hills, Wisconsin (only 49 miles from Burlington, WI, where Romo attended high school).
