According to a tweet by Andrew Cotter of the BBC, Rory McIlroy’s father, Gerry, and three friends placed one of the all-time great sports bets ten years ago.

We knew this was coming, but due to pending legal entanglements, Rory McIlroy hasn’t been able to speak about his pending break-up with his management company, Horizon Sports Management. Now that the split is official, the disagreement between McIlroy and Horizon is in the hands of their respective lawyers, with Rory pulling the trigger first.
McIlroy fired Horizon because he felt they were taking too high of a percentage of his off-course earnings, according to the Irish Independent. The report states that Rory paid out €5 million (approximately $6.8 million) over 18 months.
Rory McIlroy is leaving Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management and setting up his own shop with family and close friends, according to The Irish Independent.
