How many players have finished 8th or better in major championships during the same season?

Article: https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/34293478/pga-tour-power-rankings-cameron-smith-rises-rory-mcilroy-surges-liv-players-exit

Rory McIlroy is credited as the "third player in the past 50 years to finish eighth or better in all four majors in the same season." However, I was able to find five.

  1. Tiger Woods (5-1-1-1 in 2000, 1-2-1-T4 in 2005)
  2. Phil Mickelson (1-2-3-T6 in 2004)
  3. Rickie Fowler (T5-T2-T2-T3 in 2014)
  4. Jon Rahm (T5-T8-1-3 in 2021)
  5. Rory McIlroy (2-8-T5-3 in 2022)

Do any other such seasons exist?
