Dutch golfers Joost Luiten, Dewi Weber, and Darius van Driel have qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics but were denied participation by the Netherlands Olympic Committee (NOC), which cited their low chances of finishing in the top eight. The NOC's decision has led Luiten to take legal action, arguing that the criteria were changed unfairly and that their qualifications through the International Golf Federation's rankings should be sufficient. Luiten aired his grievances on social media, expressing disappointment and calling the decision 'mindblowing' and 'sad.' The Netherlands Golf Federation has supported Luiten, presenting arguments that lower-ranked players often perform well in major events. The case's outcome remains uncertain as it heads to court.
