Montgomerie cited Woods’ physical struggles and declining performance as reasons for his retirement suggestion. He said, “You couldn’t do what he’s doing at 15, 20, 25, never mind doing it now. The writing is there on the wall.”

Montgomerie’s comments come amidst ongoing speculation about Woods’ future in golf. Woods has struggled with injuries in recent years and has not won a major since 2008.

Dutch gaffe lands Luiten on Olympic alternate list

Dutch Olympic Blunder Gives Luiten Second Chance

Joost Luiten has been added to the Olympic reallocation list after a Dutch administrative error.

The Dutch Olympic Committee initially failed to submit Luiten’s name for the Tokyo Games, despite him meeting the qualifying criteria.

Luiten successfully challenged the decision in court, and has now been added to the reallocation list. This means he could still represent the Netherlands if there are any withdrawals before the tournament.

The Dutch Olympic Committee has apologized for the error, admitting that it was an “administrative oversight.”

Luiten is ranked 101st in the world, and would be the only Dutch golfer to qualify for the Olympics if he is selected.
