DUBAI (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy will appear in a Dublin court next week to resolve a multi-million dollar legal battle with his former agents, yet the world number one insists he is focussed on golf as he returns to competitive action at the Dubai Desert Classic on Thursday.

The Northern Irishman terminated his contract with Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management in September 2013 to form his own management company, prompting a protracted legal dispute that will be heard in a Dublin court next week.
