Joost Luiten teamed up with Robert Jan-Derksen to finish T4 at the 2011 World Cup of Golf and then took T17 in 2016 with Darius Van Driel.

Luiten missed some time this year with a wrist injury, but before he did he won the Oman Open. Since, he’s posted four straight top-30s including a T11 at the Valderrama Masters.

He’s a grinder as he’s tops in the European Tour in bogey avoidance and 10th in strokes gained tee to green.

Daan Huizing finished 20th on the Challenge Tour money list and should get some starts on the European Tour in 2019. Huizing, 28, ended his Challenge Tour season strong with a solo third, his best result of the season, a couple weeks ago at the Grand Final.
