Now, McIlroy has issued a rebuttal to Kisner's harsh accusations. In the lead-up to the DP World India Championship, McIlroy appeared at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi and, among the many topics he touched on, explained that he hoped his decision to play in the event would help promote and grow the game in India.

With the victory, the PGA Tour Player of the Year debate has become a legitimate one for the first time in four years. With the POY chatter at full volume, it's worth mentioning that two things can be true at once: being the best player on the planet doesn't make you the player of the year, and being the player of the year doesn't mean you're the best player on the planet. We'll get more in-depth on that down below, but spoiler: I think Clark has done plenty While Clark was out playing McIlroy at Bellerive Country Club - a major championship venue - Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Michael La Sasso were battling at LIV Golf Indianapolis at The Club at Chatham Hills, a non-major championship venue. The potentially final chapter of LIV's story being closed out with La Sasso besting the two biggest LIV stars was certainly a scene.

'Does he want it too much?' - McIlroy's biggest Masters battle
The popular view is that McIlroy suffers from a build-up of mental scar tissue, first triggered by that Augusta capitulation in 2011. Although he quickly started collecting his quartet of majors, post 2014 there have been many instances where further setbacks have added to the malaise. Most recent was last year's US Open where he was beaten by to the title by Bryson DeChambeau despite leading by two with five holes to play. "It is possible for people to build something up in their heads and say this is the one that I struggle with because previously something bad happened," chartered psychologist Stephen Smith told BBC Sport. "That memory hasn't been processed properly out of what we call the short term executive memory into your long term memory. Smith has worked with athletes across a wide range of sports and says bad memories can influence physical performance. "The wire that carries the performance movement message from your brain to your body gets that wonderful swing going in a connected way," he said. "And that's why you make more mistakes on that hole or on that course or in that tournament, because you're just literally not able to send the signal to the muscles.
Conditioned Language Policy: A General Framework for Steerable Multi-Objective Finetuning

Reward-based finetuning is crucial for aligning language policies with intended behaviors (e.g., creativity and safety). A key challenge here is to develop steerable language models that trade-off multiple (conflicting) objectives in a flexible and efficient manner. This paper presents Conditioned Language Policy (CLP), a general framework for finetuning language models on multiple objectives. Building on techniques from multi-task training and parameter-efficient finetuning, CLP can learn steerable models that effectively trade-off conflicting objectives at inference time. Notably, this does not require training or maintaining multiple models to achieve different trade-offs between the objectives. Through an extensive set of experiments and ablations, we show that the CLP framework learns steerable models that outperform and Pareto-dominate the current state-of-the-art approaches for multi-objective finetuning.
