Tommy Gainey has been a pro golfer since 1997 and joined the PGA Tour in 2008. He earned the nickname 'two gloves' because of his habit of wearing gloves on both hands, which is rare in golf. Tommy Gainey married Erin Joiner in 2010 and has two kids from the same marriage. As per police footage obtained by the Daily Mail, Tommy Gainey is seen seated on a couch with an undercover female officer and can be heard agreeing to pay $60 for oral sex.
