PGA golfer Tommy 'Two Gloves' Gainey was arrested as part of a massive prostitution sting in Florida dubbed 'Operation Santa's Naughty List' by local law enforcement
PGA golfer Tommy 'Two Gloves' Gainey was arrested as part of a massive prostitution sting in Florida dubbed 'Operation Santa's Naughty List' by local law enforcement.
In total, the sting resulted in 120 people being charged, primarily for prostitution and drug-related offenses.
The 44-year-old known as 'Two Gloves' attempted to solicit a prostitute on December 8. He was released on $500 bail and faces a first-degree solicitation charge.
As seen in police footage obtained by the Daily Mail, Gainey is sitting on a couch with an undercover female officer and can be heard agreeing to pay for $60 for sex.
The married Gainey suggests a 'quick visit' and mentions that he will be around 'the rest of the week.'
The police report states he handed the woman the $60, which is when cops came into the room and arrested him.
'Then there's 44-year-old Tommy Gainey,' Judd said after previously listing charges against other accused individuals. 'Tommy Gainey is a professional golfer. In fact he's got his PGA card.
'He's from Hartsville, South Carolina,' Judd continued. 'He's married. He told us that he was here for a charity golf event. And it was to be the next morning tee off. He didn't make it. He was a scratch.
'We googled around to see if he was telling the truth, and if you google and search out and just type out "two gloves" it comes up with his name. So he's been on the tour for quite a while. There's so many things I could say about that "two gloves," but I won't because my director of communications said it would go downhill fast if you do.'

Gainey has one career PGA victory and made four starts in 2019. He had been scheduled to play in this week's Korn Ferry Tour Q-School, according to Golf.com.
He wasn't the only highlight of Judd's press conference.
At one point the Polk County Sheriff described the arrest of one individual identified as Rodney Davis, who was completely nude.
'This guy walked up to the front door of this home in a neighborhood on a cool evening, buck naked,' Judd said.
'Now if you don't know the difference between naked and buck naked, buck naked means you're not even wearing your socks.
'He didn't have a stitch of clothes on, but he was carrying a shirt. The detectives promptly took him into custody and gave him some britches to put on.'
Davis, who is reportedly a Disney security guard, can also be seen on footage from the hidden police camera.
He was charged with solicitation and for having prescription drugs without a prescription.
