Willibrordus Adrianus Maria "Joost" Luiten (born 7 January 1986) is a Dutch professional golfer who plays on the European Tour.
Luiten was born in Bleiswijk and started playing golf at 6 years old at Golf Centrum Rotterdam. As an amateur, he won the 2005 Spanish Amateur Open Championship and German Amateur Open Championship; he represented his country in the winning team of the 2006 Eisenhower Trophy and was selected in the same year for the Palmer Cup.
After a failed bid for a tour card at Qualifying School he started his professional career on the EPD Tour where he claimed second place twice in just four starts. Because he was not in possession of a tour card Luiten was solely dependent on invites to play on the Challenge Tour.
He received one for the Tusker Kenya Open where he birdied the 72nd hole for a share of tenth place. This was enough to earn himself a start in the next tournament where he finished third. On his way to show how to make perfect use of a single invite Luiten went on to win in France, his third start of the season. In his first six events of 2007, he won two of them. On his way to winning the Vodafone Challenge he shot a 61 (-11) in the final round, the lowest final round total by a tournament winner.
