A few weeks ago, Tony Romo played a round of golf with Tiger Woods at the AT&T National outside Washington D.C.

On Friday, Romo will be paired with two Hall of Fame quarterbacks, John Elway and Dan Marino, in the American Century Championship at the Edgewood Golf Course at Lake Tahoe. Terence Newman is paired with John Lynch and Ronde Barber.

Romo finished tied for third last year and 11th in his first try in 2007. Newman made his Tahoe debut in 2008 finished tied for 76th. He vows to improve this year. His game is too good to finish that low again.

Wade Phillips was on the original sign up for the tournament but he's not listed on the pairings.

Stay tuned for Romo and Newman updates when the tournament begins Friday.

Tony Romo, Jerry Rice, Charles Barkley and Other Superstars Show Off Celebratory Skills in Lake Tahoe

LAKE TAHOE, Nev., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- During the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship -- often referred to as the Super Bowl of celebrity events, many players took the opportunity to show off their locker-room celebratory skills in the second annual "Korbel Celebrity Spray-Off."

Participating players included winner Tony Romo, runner-up Jerry Rice, and third place finisher Charles Barkley among more than 35 other celebrity participants. Players were judged on champagne cork distance and style of the champagne spray.

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, took the title of "Spray Off Champion" when he 'went long' with the cork and impressed the crowd with his stylish champagne spray.

Former NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver, Jerry Rice and Charles Barkley, NBA Hall of Famer won over the crowd with their exciting champagne sprays and long distance corks. Jerry Rice, known for being light on his feet, used his star dancing skills to earn style points while Barkley's finish in the Spray-Off was guaranteed to be higher than his place in the golf tournament.

Each player had his own unique style - some focusing on cork distance while others took advantage of the chance to entertain and spray the crowd. The Spray-Off made for an amusing competition - whether it was Jack Wagner's amusing dance moves or Ben Roethlisberger drenching the crowd, the competition proved to be full of laughs.

Other style-makers of the "Spray-Off" included Trent Dilfer, who put on his rally cap for extra style points, Joe Theismann who was determined not to let the rookie athletes show him up, Mario Lemieux who performed a complete 360 degree spin and spray, or Jim McMahon in his signature bare feet and striped pants who got the crowd involved.

Slam dunks of the Spray-Off included NBA greats, Michael Jordan (always classy with his signature cigar), Anfernee Hardaway, Marcus Allen, and Shane Battier.

Hockey players seem to have an advantage as they showed they had some serious champagne-spraying know-how as their spray's had the most flair and style. Brett Hull, Pierre Larouche and Mario Lemieux, all two-time Stanley Cup Champions, showed off their champion sprays.

NFL All-Pro Football Players were out and ready to go the distance. Ben Roethlisberger, John Elway, Mark Rypien and Jim McMahon, all Super Bowl champs have had plenty of experience popping the cork on champagne to celebrate victories.

Former baseball greats, Ozzie Smith, Bret Saberhagen, and Joe Carter participated in the competition, and all hit home runs as far as champagne spraying goes.

"We are thrilled to again be a part of such a great event with the American Century Golf Championship," said Gary Heck, owner and president of Korbel Champagne Cellars. "Korbel is the perfect celebratory beverage, and it was great to have some fun with it during the second annual "Spray-off" event."

Looks like he's not lucky in love – or blackjack. Just six days after Tony Romo broke up with Jessica Simpson, leaving her devastated, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was spotted cruising the casinos in Lake Tahoe, Calif., on Wednesday.

In town for the American Century Championship golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, Romo, 29, enjoyed an early morning round of golf with two friends before trying his hand at poker, roulette and blackjack at Harrah's and Harveys. Though he was losing most of his games, Romo joked with the dealers and was in good spirits as he nursed a cup of black coffee.

Later that same night, Romo emerged with a group of four friends at the Dennis Miller comedy show at Harrah's. The group eventually made their way to the Cabo Wabo restaurant for a few rounds inside the VIP room before the NFL star called it quits just after 11 p.m.

Earlier in the week, Romo's curfew was much later than that as he enjoyed a boys weekend in L.A., where his pals made their best efforts to "lift his spirits," says a source. "His friends wanted him to have some fun before football training starts."

They've got 13 days more days to do just that: Romo is due to report for pre-season training on July 29. Romo's Cowboys coach Wade Phillips told PEOPLE at the ESPY Awards Wednesday that he hasn't spoken to the quarterback since his split from Simpson, "but we start camp in two weeks and he'll be ready."

What?? He went to Cabo again? LOL
