Donald Trump has used his presidential authority to officially pardon a golf caddy who already served his time … and it’s all so he can go to PGA tournaments across the pond.
Missing last year’s British Open, Eric Larson — who spent 11 years behind bars for a drug-dealing conviction from three decades ago — couldn’t attend because his U.K. authorization was denied due to his record.

Of course, Harris English — the PGA golfer Eric caddies for — came in second at the tournament that year, winning $1.8 million … the New York Post reported.
Given that caddies usually take home a 7% commission … Eric missed out on quite the payday.
But now thanks to Trump’s pardon … he can make the trip next year.
Speaking out about the pardon, Harris told the Post … “I’m just so pumped for Eric that he can have his rights back … and travel to be by my side and work for me specifically at the Scottish Open and the British Open. He knows what it’s like to have your freedom taken away. He just brings so much joy.”
