🚨❌😡 JUST IN: The International Golf Federation says that despite winning his court case, Joost Luiten’s Olympic spot has already been filled and he won’t be able to compete.

“When the IGF received notification of Joost Luiten's court ruling in the Netherlands and his entry from the Netherlands’ National Olympic Committee (NOC*NSF), his unused quota spot had already been reallocated pursuant to the IGF’s published qualification procedures.

The IGF was not a party to the legal action brought forth by Luiten in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, in an effort to support Luiten, the IGF sought an exception from the IOC to increase the field size of the men's Olympic golf competition from 60 to 61 competitors to include Luiten, however the request was denied by the IOC today.

The IGF has advised Luiten of the IOC's decision, and he has not informed the IGF whether he intends to pursue this matter further.”
