Rory McIlroy Arrives For £13m Legal Battle

By David Blevins, Ireland Correspondent

Rory McIlroy has arrived in a Dublin courtroom for a £13m legal dispute that could see the world number one cross-examined by lawyers.

Fresh from winning the Dubai Desert Classic, the Northern Irish golfer is suing his former management company, Horizon Sports Media, and being countersued by them.

In a bid to prevent McIlroy's finances being made public, the judge sent both sides to arbitration last October but they failed to reach agreement.

Barring a last-minute out-of-court settlement, the case could last six weeks, with the 25-year-old in the witness box for up to 10 days.

It is expected to open with McIlroy's lawyers outlining why they believe the original contract he signed with Horizon Sports Management in 2011 was "unconscionable".
