McIlroy agrees settlement with Horizon Sport Managment
It is believed that he has paid Horizon Sports Management, his former agents up to £20m in an out of court settlement in Dublin. The 25-year-old was in remarkably high spirits all things considered.
For their part, Horizon said the contract was watertight and they were prepared to fight tooth and nail in court. They were counter-suing McIlroy for loss of earnings.
It has been widely reported that McIlroy had offered Horizon £10m before the trial began, but the agent rejected the offer. When the case began on Tuesday, a day of negotiations saw that offer increased to £12m before finally agreeing on £15m.
