Document disclosure row in McIlroy contract case to be heard next month
Mr McIlroy claims he signed the December 2011 representation agreement under “undue influence” when he was just 22 years old and inexperienced and, as a result, has paid more than $6.8m (€4.94m) based on “unreasonable” fee rates “many times greater” than is standard in the sports agency industry.
He also alleges the defendants — Dublin-based Horizon; Gurteen Ltd, with a registered address in Malta, and Dublin-based Canovan Management Services — are not entitled to be paid certain fees into the future related to his $20m a year sponsorship deal with sportswear giant Nike.
