The Netherlands has barred golfers Joost Luiten, Dewi Weber, and Darius van Driel from competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics despite their qualification through international criteria. The Dutch Olympic Committee imposed additional national requirements, stipulating that athletes must have a realistic chance of finishing in the top eight to participate. Anne van Dam is the only Dutch golfer allowed to compete, thanks to a strong performance in a recent tournament. The decision has sparked criticism from the International Golf Federation and the players, who argue the criteria are unfair and ignore their potential. The slots of the barred golfers have been filled by athletes from Austria, Switzerland, and Finland.
