Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey was among the 26 "graduates" who earned thier PGA TOUR card at the 2007 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament, known as Q-School. He finished at 15-under-par and in 19th place on the leaderboard after the grueling six round event.

Gainey's rise to the biggest stage in professional golf started with several successful years playing regional mini tours as well as his appearance on two seasons of the Golf Channel's reality show, "The Big Break," in which he was the winning contestant of the second season. He played in four Nationwide Tour events in 2007, including the Cox Classic where he finished tied for eighth place. He was also a PGA TOUR Monday Qualifier at the Wachovia Championship in May.

The hard-swinging, easy-going 31-year-old from Bishopville, South Carolina, has become a fan favorite of golf fans because of his southern charm, his unorthodox ten-finger, two-glove grip, and the unconventional path he's taken from being a minimum wage factory worker to a fully-exempt PGA TOUR pro.
