Trump likely headed to U.S. Women's Open this weekend in New Jersey

President Trump appears to be headed back to his New Jersey golf course this weekend, a visit that would coincide with the U.S. Women's Open being held there. 

A notice to pilots issued by the Federal Aviation Administration on Monday indicates that Trump will be at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. The temporary flight restriction (TFR)  — which prohibit air traffic within a 10-nautical mile circle of Bedminster —  is a telltale sign of the president's travel, although TFRs are not an official confirmation that Trump will be at the event. 

The flight restrictions will be in place Friday through Sunday.

"The USGA was made aware of the Temporary Flight Restriction, but unfortunately, we have no information related to a possible presidential visit," said Janeen Driscoll, the USGA's director of public relations, referring questions about a potential visit to the White House.

"Right now, we are solely focused on conducting the championship and providing the ultimate test of golf for the best female players in the world. We have a security plan in place, as we do for all championships that we conduct and are ready for a great week of golf this week."

The Palm Beach Post was the first outlet to report on Trump's potential trip to Bedminster. 

If Trump is in attendance, it will add fuel to the USGA’s already controversial decision to keep the Women’s Open on a Trump property. Last year, three Democratic U.S. Senators wrote a letter to the USGA demanding they move the Women’s Open after a recording surfaced of Trump making lewd comments about women. The USGA initially awarded the Women's Open to Trump National in 2012. 

American golfer Brittany Lincicome, a seven-time LPGA event winner, told The Chicago Tribune last month that she'd prefer if Trump stayed away.

"Hopefully maybe he doesn't show up and it won't be a big debacle and it will be about us and not him," Lincicome said. "I don't know him. I have met him probably once. I think it will be fine. We're going to play an amazing golf course and let our clubs do the talking."

Lincicome faced some backlash for the comments. 

Cristie Kerr, another LPGA tour veteran, told The Record that the players at the tournament will be at the tournament "to put on the best show in women’s golf” and not to make political statements.

“The president has done a lot for women’s golf, and this is not meant to be a spectacle,” Kerr said. “This tournament really is about golf.”

The flight restriction likely means no blimps will be allowed over the event, unless a blimp operator can secure a waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Last month, a blimp that was over the  U.S. Open Championship in Erin, Wisconsin, crashed. The pilot, who parachuted out of the craft, was injured. 

Trump was in Europe when another one of his clubs located in Northern Virginia hosted the Senior PGA Championship in May. 

In August of 2015, then-candidate Trump showed up unannounced for the final round of a PGA Tour event at Plainfield Country Club, in Edison. Trump walked amongst the fans, posing for photos and chatting as an almost imperceptible security detail followed him.
