A look at golfers who have signed the most second-place scorecards throughout major championship history.

Raymond Floyd – 5

Ray Floyd acknowledges the cheers of the crowd after sinking a birdie putt on the 16th hole of the 1986 U.S. Open.

Raymond Floyd was one major win short—the British Open—from earning a career grand slam. But his best finish was a runner-up showing in 1978. Along with three second-place finishes at the Masters and one at the PGA Championship, Floyd ended his career with five “So close!” storylines.
