Rory McIlroy says his recent form does not signal "the start of an era" as he prepares for the US PGA Championship, which starts on Thursday.

The world number one has won his last two tournaments, including the Open at Hoylake, and is favourite to claim his fourth major at Valhalla this week. But the 25-year-old says talk of the "Rory era" is premature.

"I've had a great run over the past few months, but sometimes people are too quick to jump on the bandwagon," said the Northern Irishman.

Tiger Woods has until 10 minutes before Thursday's tee-off time at the US PGA to declare himself fit to play following a back injury.

The American, 38, withdrew from last weekend's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after jarring his back. The four-time US PGA winner requested an extension to the deadline for registration, usually 17:00 on the eve of the tournament, and it was granted.

"This is a league where the top team plays the bottom team and on any given day you can lose. You don't get that a lot in the other leagues."
