Rory McIlroy still considers himself a full-fledged member of the Fab Four.

No chance he’ll get kicked out of the group, certainly not without putting up quite a fight.

As if to show he’s still as relevant as ever among golf’s elite players, even as he approaches the two-year mark since the last of his major titles, McIlroy pulled no punches Tuesday leading to the British Open at Royal Troon.

He called out golf for its lax drug-testing procedures and questioned the relevance of his sport being part of the Olympics, saying he wasn’t even sure he’d watch it on television.

And, if there was any doubt that he still deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth, McIlroy pointedly reminded everyone how they rank in terms of majors.

“I’ve got four major championships, and I’d love to add to that tally,” he said, “just as those guys would love to add to their one or two majors that they have and just keep going.”

Message received.

McIlroy missed last year’s British Open at St. Andrews after tearing a ligament in his left ankle playing soccer with his buddies, denying him a chance to defend the title he won in 2014.

“I guess it’s the start of a new chapter for me in the Open championship,” he said. “I’m determined not to miss any more, for the foreseeable future anyway.”

He’s even more eager to add another major title to his trophy case.

Two years ago, McIlroy followed up his victory at Royal Liverpool by winning again in the PGA Championship. He was the most dominant golfer in the game, the guy everyone else was chasing as Tiger Woods faded from view. But golf is a fickle game, and players such as Woods, who remain on top for years at a time, don’t come along very often.
