Later that season he won his first Leinster Championship medal after Galway's 0-29 to 1-17 defeat of Wexford in the final. Following Galway's All-Ireland semi-final defeat of Tipperary, there was speculation that Tuohey would receive some sanction from the CCCC after footage of him pulling the helmet from Tipperary player Patrick Maher’s head was shown on the Sunday Game. The incident wasn’t dealt with by referee Barry Kelly or his officials, however, the CCCC took no subsequent action. On 3 September 2017, Tuohey started for Galway at right corner-back when they won their first All-Ireland in 29 years after a 0-26 to 2-17 defeat of Waterford in the final.
On 8 July 2018, Tuohey won a second successive Leinster Championship medal following Galway's 1-28 to 3-15 defeat of Kilkenny in the final. On 19 August 2018, he lined out at left corner-back in Galway's 3-16 to 2-18 All-Ireland final defeat by Limerick.
