Dutch golfers blast Olympic committee after being denied Paris spot despite meeting qualifications

Three Dutch golfers will be watching the 2024 Olympic Games from home despite qualifying for the Games after their Olympic committee said their world rankings suggest they would not have a realistic chance to compete. 

Joost Luiten, 38, is a six-time winner on the European Tour and has qualified for 21 majors in his career. He is currently ranked No. 147 in the world and No. 40 in the Olympic rankings. He met the qualifications to compete in Paris next month, but was told this week that he would not be going.
