Rory and G-Mac make it up

Rory McIlroy has mended signs of a split in his relationship with long-time friend Graeme McDowell ahead of playing alongside one another in the BMW PGA Championship, which begins at Wentworth today.

McDowell had surprisingly lifted the lid last week in Bulgaria on McIlroy leaving the Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management, which had until then looked after the affairs of both players.

But while McDowell revealed his fellow US Open champion is soon to terminate his five-year contract after just 18 months into the agreement, it seems McIlroy and Horizon’s Conor Ridge have each taken legal advice not to comment on the matter.
