Trump Pardons PGA Tour Caddie Eric Larson Over Old Drug Conviction
US President Donald Trump has granted a full pardon to PGA Tour caddie Eric Larson over a 1995 federal conviction for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Larson, who caddies for American golfer Harris English, served about 11 years of a 13-year sentence. His conviction later made it difficult for him to enter the United Kingdom, preventing him from joining English at the 2025 British Open. English finished second at the tournament and earned $1.8 million. The pardon may allow Larson to travel with him to future UK events, including the Scottish Open and British Open. Larson’s conviction remains part of the historical record, although the pardon removes the federal penalty.
