Rory McIlroy pulls his chair up at another dinner table this evening, one where Terry Prone is cooking the dinner. Following an acrimonious breakup with Chubby Chandler management and a move to Horizon management over two years ago, Rory is on the move again and has decided the Conor Ridge operation is not for him no more.

It's all a bit messy and in the hands of some lawyers as Rory had a contract with the Dublin based management company who released this statement
Horizon Sports Management (“Horizon”) notes, with disappointment, the statement issued by Rory McIlroy today (Friday 27th September 2013). Since October 2011, Horizon has achieved exceptional results for Rory in realising his commercial objectives. Under Horizon’s management, Rory has signed some of the most lucrative endorsements in sports history. The current management contract has a number of years to run.
Rory’s decision to seek a termination of the management contract with Horizon is now regrettably in the hands of legal advisors. Horizon will be making no further comment.
Ends
So there you have it another breakup business style for Rory but as we've pointed out before, maybe it's someone closer to home who is jinxing his performances.
