Over the weekend an Irish newspaper reported – yet again – that the 24-year-old and his tennis-star girlfriend, Caroline Wozniacki, have split.
And now, on Monday, it was revealed in the Dublin High Court that McIlroy will be slapped with a counter claim in his ongoing legal case against his former management company.
McIlroy is seeking to terminate his five-year deal with Horizon Sports Management, and there appears to be a dispute over the fees charged by the agency. According to multiple published reports, including the BBC, McIlroy is trying to recover 7 million euros (or more than $9.5 million) in the case.
A trial date has been set for October 2014. The case could provide a fascinating insight into the value of contracts and how they are negotiated.
