The three-time Olympic gold medalist in halfpipe could not beat the very best in his last Olympic competition.
The 35-year-old American was beaten by three skiers when he finished fourth in the final.
With his three Olympic gold medals, White is the most successful snowboarder ever in the Olympic context.
He won gold in the halfpipe 2018, 2010 and 2006.
Scotty James, Australia, came second behind Ayumu Hirano, Japan who took home the gold.
The bronze went to Jan Scherrer, Switzerland.
