Rory Offered Eight-Figure Settlement To The Suit He Brought

The Guardian's Ewan Murray is camped out in Dublin for the courthouse fun for Rory McIlroy's suit against Horizon Sports Management and it seems no settlement had arrived Monday, per his report.

The Telegraph's James Corrigan lays out in detail how the testimony component will work for the World No. 1 and it sounds like a grueling six day period lies ahead, with the eight weeks mentioned as a possible trial length, meaning the decision could come around Masters time.

And for Americans, it's hard to fathom lawyers doing this when they are the ones doing the suing:

Mediation ordered by a judge last September failed and sources have indicated that McIlroy has already made an offer to Horizon – which could have been as much as £10 million – but it was turned down.
