So who actually paid who?
Horizon will be paying McIlroy
I'll be completely honest and say that I know only about 1% of the factual information, but I would have suspected the other way around... Did I not see a court snippet that suggested that Rory had offered $10 Million dollars to settle a few days ago?
Happy to be proven wrong...
I thought McIlroy was the one suing ? Or have Horizon counter sued ?
Rory McIlroy has settled a dispute with his former agent for what is understood to be well over $20m (£15m) plus costs.The world's number one golfer had been suing Horizon Sports Management in a multi-million pound wrangle.
Rory McIlroy’s bitter multi-million pound contract fight with a former management company, was finally settled here on Wedneday morning sparing the world No 1 the ordeal of having to take the stand in court.A joint statement read: “The legal dispute between Rory McIlroy and Horizon Sports Management has been settled to the satisfaction of both parties who wish each other well for the future. The parties will be making no further comment.â€
The settlement figure was not revealed and neither will it be through official channels. But it is believed that the golfer will pay Conor Ridge’s agency nearly £20m to release him from his contract.
While the costs will leave a dent in the Northern Irishman’s finances he will simply be relieved that the affair is now in the past and he concentrate on maintaining his stunning form as he heads to back to his Florida home and prepare his bid to become just the sixth player in history to win the career grand slam at April’s Masters
Just had a look on twitter for the first time in a while and had to smile at this......

.@BrianMcFadden Perhaps it's similar to when you were on stage with a microphone and didn't sing, Brian old boy. Tremendous.
