저명한 골프 코스 설계가 톰 파지오가 도널드 트럼프 전 대통령의 요청에 따라 워싱턴 D.C.에 위치한 이스트 포토맥 골프 링크스의 리노베이션 계획을 추진하고 있다. 이번 프로젝트는 거의 100년 된 시립 골프장을 챔피언십 수준의 시설로 탈바꿈시키는 동시에, 배수 문제를 해결하고 대중의 이용권을 보장하는 것을 목표로 한다.
81세인 파지오는 당초 인허가 문제와 지역 사회의 반대를 우려해 제안을 거절했으나, 현장을 둘러본 후 마음을 바꿨다. 그는 과거 트럼프를 위해 다수의 골프 코스를 설계한 바 있으며, 이곳에 대해 워싱턴 기념비를 조망할 수 있는 입지 조건이 페블 비치 수준이라고 평가했다.
