Judge In Rory McIlroy's Case Against Horizon Sports Management Orders Peace Talks

A High Court judge on Tuesday ordered the world’s No. 1 golfer RORY MCILROY and his former management company, Horizon Sports Management, "to engage in peace talks over the next four weeks," according to the IRISH INDEPENDENT. McIlroy’s legal battle with Horizon "also involves the affairs" of his Ryder Cup teammate GRAEME MCDOWELL and Justice BRIAN MCGOVERN said that "it involved such sensitive matters that the sides should engage in mediation." McIlroy has claimed "he got markedly inferior representation terms compared to fellow golfer McDowell despite alleged representations that he would get similar terms." He alleges it was represented to him by CONOR RIDGE of Horizon that "he would get the same terms as McDowell regarding on course earnings, off course earnings, bonuses and commission, fees and charges" (IRISH INDEPENDENT, 9/16).
