The wild journey that a Dutch golfer took to try to play in the Olympics looks as if it won’t end in Paris after all.
Joost Luiten, 38 and a six-time winner on the DP World Tour, was originally not going to compete in Paris for the Netherlands despite meeting Olympic ranking criteria. His home country’s Olympic committee didn’t believe that Luiten or its other men’s players could win a medal, but Luiten sued and won, with a judge ruling that the Dutch committee had to immediately register Luiten for Olympic golf or risk a fine.
