Barristers for both sides in the Rory McIlroy case have agreed to defer today's opening of his action against Horizon Management until 2pm.
McIlroy arrived at the High Court in Dublin this morning.
He is suing Conor Ridge's Horizon Sports Management over the cut his firm was taking from both his on and off course earnings.
The bitter row over £4.2 million in fees has taken the pair all the way to the big business division of the High Court.
The case centres on McIlroy's contract with Dublin-based Horizon and two other linked companies, the Malta-based Gurteen and Canovan Management, also based in Dublin.
In court papers when the case was launched in late 2013, it was claimed McIlroy signed up with Ridge's agency at an informal meeting on the day of Horizon's Christmas party in 2011 when the Northern Irishman was 22.
The world number one claims that fees charged by Horizon were almost four times what top 10 golfers pay to agents.
Horizon is counter-suing the four-time major winner for at least £1.65m after breaking his contract early.
The court case is expected to last between four to six weeks but a settlement could be possible in the talks to take place up to 2pm.
