At which 2018 major did Tiger Woods finish second behind Brooks Koepka?

The story behind the answer

Tiger Woods finished second behind Brooks Koepka at the 2018 PGA Championship. The 100th PGA Championship was played at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Missouri, from August 9 to 12, 2018.

Koepka won with a PGA Championship-record total of 264, or 16 under par. Woods closed with a 6-under 64 to reach 266, finishing two strokes behind. His final round was the best closing round of his career in a major championship, and it produced his first runner-up finish in a major since his 2009 season.

The result was especially notable because Woods was still rebuilding his career after years of back problems and multiple surgeries. Koepka, meanwhile, captured his third major title and became the fifth American to win three majors before turning 29. The U.S. Open, Masters Tournament, and Open Championship were among the other 2018 majors, but Woods’s second-place finish came at the PGA Championship.
