Outspoken activist Martha Burk used a recent op-ed to question the role LPGA players may play in the discussion of where the 2017 U.S. Women's Open should be held.
The tournament was awarded to Trump National in Bedminster, N.J., in 2012, and that remains the scheduled venue. But the course's owner, businessman and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has recently come under fire for a series of vulgar comments made about women.
While the USGA was one of several governing bodies to distance itself from Trump last year over separate remarks about immigrants, the organization has made no public comment amidst the growing cry for them to relocate next year's event.
