Olympic Games: Dutchman sues his way into golf tournament, but…

After the Dutch National Olympic Committee (NOC) refused to allow three qualified athletes to take part in the Paris Games, DP World Tour pro Joost Luiten successfully appealed against his exclusion. The 38-year-old announced this on Instagram on Wednesday. Golf Post spoke to Luiten about the events after his first round at the BMW International Open and the Dutchman explained his situation in detail for the first time.

“I basically sued the National Olympic Committee”, Luiten told Golf Post. “I didn’t agree with the way it went down. I didn’t agree with the rules they had in place. Halfway through the qualification year, they changed the rules. So it was all one big mess and then, you know, I didn’t meet their criteria. But if they would have started those criteria from the start, I would have qualified straight away in two events.”

According to the rules of the International Golf Federation (IGF) and the IOC, the top 15 in the Olympic Golf Ranking (OGR), which is based on the world golf rankings, qualify – with a maximum of four athletes per country. The 60-strong field will then be filled with the best outside the top 15, with a maximum of two participants per country. In the case of the Netherlands, these are Darius van Driel and Joost Luiten for the men and Anne van Dam and Dewi Weber for the women. However, the Dutch Olympic Committee had its own criteria for golf, which Luiten and others did not fulfil after they were implemented. However, this only happened after the IGF qualification process had long since begun.

As obliged by the court, the Dutch NOC nominated Luiten in time for the tournament at Le Golf National near Paris. But now there is a new problem. “There’s another bit of trouble because now all of a sudden there are 61 people in the field, not 60, because the IOC gave my spot away already. So now it looks like I could go from one court case to the next, but that’s not what I want. Hopefully they can sort the issue”, says the young family man, fearing for his eligibility to compete.

Luiten’s dissatisfaction with his National Olympic Committee goes far beyond the refusal to nominate him: “The whole problem in Holland is that if you let some people that only know the traditional Olympic sports, swimming, athletics, and stuff like that, if you let them make the rules on golf, you get some silly rules. And that’s what basically this is all about. Showing them that they had no clue what they were doing and that it had nothing to do with golf. Unfortunately I had to go to court for it, but at least now hopefully it will open their eyes.”

Gareth Bale on Football and Golf: “The German Fans Are Amazing”

With a handicap of 2, Gareth Bale is not only a successful athlete on the football pitch, but also impresses with strong golfing performances at various ProAm tournaments. This was also the case at the 35th edition of the BMW International Open. He already made his PGA Tour debut last year and teed it up at the Pebble Beach ProAm, shortly after he came to Germany to the Munich Eichenried Golf Club. Now he can already look back on his second ProAm at this tournament and, in his press conference after his round in the group with Danny Willett and long driver Martin Borgmeier, was delighted with the course conditions and the German fans. In addition to golf, the current number one football topic was of course also on the agenda. The European Championship in Germany is inspiring the Welsh international, but he did not get carried away with a tip for the outcome of the match between Germany and Spain and chose a diplomatic answer.

Gareth Bale: “The german fans are amazing”

This is Gareth Bale’s second visit to the BMW International Open and the Welshman is delighted with Golfclub München Eichenried and his round: “The golf course is in great condition again. It was great fun and I definitely played better than last year”. There is great anticipation for an exciting 35th edition of the tournament and a look at the strong field of participants also promises high tension. “It is obviously a lot of great players playing. From being here last year, the fans are amazing and very supportive. I am sure it will be another great week”. However, the footballer does not want to commit himself to a possible winner: “There will be a worthy champion at the end”. However, one stands out for Bale too. Bernhard Langer is celebrating his farewell from the DP World Tour and European professional sport this week, which of course also leaves its mark on golf fan Bale: The longevity, the amount of golf he has played and the career he has had is incredible”.

Euro 2024 in Germany: A highlight, also for Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale can look back on a successful football career in which he made a name for himself in various teams with very good performances. He also played for many years in the Welsh national team, where he became the record player with 111 appearances and 41 goals. So the question on the European Football Championship in Germany is an obvious one: “I haven’t been to any games but I’m going to the finals in Berlin. It’s nice to have the tournament back in one country”. However, the football star refrains from making any predictions about the outcome of the match between Germany and Spain this Friday (July 5): “It’s one of those games, whoever turns up on the day. They both have fantastic teams. Germany obviously has the home advantage. Who plays better on that day will win the game”.

The Open Qualifying: Justin Rose Returns, Sergio Garcia Falls Short

The Open Qualifying held up and downs for the players. (Photos: Getty)

The Open Qualifying for this year’s tournament at Royal Troon presented a spectacle as seasoned professionals and emerging talents vied for coveted spots.

Fierce Competition at The Open Qualifying

A total of 16 players earned their places at The Open through the Final Qualifying events held at four UK venues. Each site offered four spots, with notable performances at Burnham & Berrow, Dundonald, Royal Cinque Ports, and West Lancashire. At Burnham & Berrow, former US Open champion Justin Rose and English amateur Dominic Clemons each scored eight under par to qualify. Dundonald saw triumphs from Sam Hutsby, Angel Hidalgo, Liam Nolan, and Jack McDonald, while Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire witnessed strong showings from Matthew Southgate and Sam Horsfield among others.

Justin Rose Returns to The Open

Justin Rose secured his place at The Open by delivering remarkable rounds of 66 and 68 at Burnham & Berrow. The former US Open champion reaffirmed his status among the elite, stating, “The Open’s been a bit of a fairytale and love story for me since I was 14 and I qualified at Scotscraig. Obviously there was winning the Silver Medal at Royal Birkdale a couple of years later, so The Open has always been super special.“ Furthermore he says: “Sometimes you take it for granted – you’re exempt, you turn up and play for many years, but as you get older, things get a little harder so in some ways it’s good to have to qualify because it makes you appreciate The Open a little more and how special it is. Coming back to Burnham & Berrow was also special – first time back here since ’97. I was grateful to be back here and walk down memory lane.”

Abraham Ancer also secured his spot in a tense playoff, overcoming a triple bogey late in his second round to qualify. Ancer commented on his experience to Mirror Sports US, saying, “It was definitely a rollercoaster but it made it even sweeter going into the playoff and getting the job done.”

Sergio Garcia Misses The Open Again

For the second consecutive year, Sergio Garcia narrowly missed out on qualifying for The Open. Competing at West Lancashire, Garcia finished three under par, falling short by two strokes. His frustration was evident as he faced slow play warnings and struggled with crowd control, which disrupted his concentration.

Garcia expressed his disappointment, noting, “When you have 2,000 people following us with no ropes, nothing. The marshals were trying to do as good a job as they could do but obviously we had to stop pretty much on every tee for two or three minutes to hit our tee shots because people were walking in front of the tee and on the fairway.”
