When the 2017 U.S. Women's Open of the LPGA Tour was held at Trump National Golf Club, the tournament organizers were displeased with President Trump's ostentatious attendance. At that time, numerous security personnel accompanied him, and even reporters not related to golf crowded the event, which reduced attention on the tournament and players. The PGA of America has not disclosed where the new venue will be moved.
