Joost Luiten has called the Netherlands Olympic Committee's decision to not allow him, Darius Van Driel and Dewi Weber the chance to play as "mindblowing" while Van Driel has called it a "sad day for Dutch golf."
The trio are all ranked outside of the world's top 100 and the Netherlands Golf Federation confirmed that the Netherlands Olympic Committee has not allowed them to tee it up at Le Golf National due to “no reasonable chance of a top eight ranking during the Olympic Games.”
