Tommy and his partner Clare first met in 2015 when she initially approached him to be his agent - but told the golfer 'Don't be stupid' when he asked her on a date.

Clare, 56, stated that she turned Tommy , 33, down the first few times and cited that there was a huge age gap between them as the reason. The Sun reports that Clare said: "We've got a 23-year age difference. Of course, I turned him down.

I was like, 'Don't be stupid'."
