Got off to a slow start on Sunday with three consecutive bogeys to fall off the pace. However, played his final 14 holes in seven-under-par to tie for the lead at one point late in the round but could only convert one birdie opportunity over his final three holes to T2. His back nine totals for the three days was 13-under-par without a bogey. Recorded 21 birdies, which established a new tournament record, breaking Gil Morgan's 2006 mark.

Allianz Championship: Nearly won for the second time in his last three starts going back to 2015 when he fell in a three-hole playoff to Esteban Toledo at the Allianz Championship. Two missed putts proved costly. Missed a four-footer at the 54th hole which would have eventually earned him the win, and then saw his six-foot putt for par lip out on the third playoff hole. Esteban Toledo closed out the match moments later.

2015 Season

Finished fourth in the final Charles Schwab Cup standings after registering three victories and seven top-10s overall.

Charles Schwab Cup Championship: Posted the signature win of his PGA TOUR Champions career when he claimed the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship in November in a one-hole playoff over Bernhard Langer in Scottsdale. Started the final round four shy of 54-hole leader Michael Allen but closed with a 6-under-par 64 to post a 72-hole total of 14-under-par 266. Moments later, leading by one stroke, he watched as Langer's eagle putt for the win on 18 lip out. He would follow with a birdie to send it to a playoff, but Andrade two-putted from 25-feet for a birdie and his third win of the campaign. Had one of the highlights of the tournament in the opening round when he aced the second hole with a 6-iron from 190. It was his first PGA TOUR Champions hole-in-one. He also had two on the PGA TOUR.
Boeing Classic: In late August, he became the third of four multiple winners on the 2015 PGA TOUR Champions when he prevailed by one stroke over Langer at the Boeing Classic. Started the final round three in front of the field, but struggled on the front nine, including a triple bogey on No. 4 and a bogey on No. 7, but he would play mistake-free over his final 11 holes to shoot 73 and win his first stroke-play victory in a TOUR-sponsored event since 2000, a span of 283 starts on the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions. His 1-over final round was the highest finish by a winner on the PGA TOUR Champions in 2015.
U.S. Senior Open Championship: Posted the low round of the U.S. Senior Open Sunday when he closed with a bogey-free 7-under-par 63, which tied him with four others for the second lowest round in U.S. Open history and led to a T5 finish in Sacramento.
Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship: After getting a putting tip from his wife, closed with rounds of 66-69 at Belmont CC to T7 at the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS.
Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge: In late April, he and teammate Joe Durant used a blistering 9-under-par 45 on the par-3 Top of the Rock Course Sunday at the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf, and the pair went on for a three-stroke victory. It was the first PGA TOUR Champions victory for both players, marking the first time in that event that both players earned their first career wins on Tour.

Shaw Charity Classic: Came close to victory again in August at the Shaw Charity Classic. Closed with an 8-under-par 62, which included an eagle on his 54th hole to get into a playoff with Fred Couples at 15-under-par. However, saw his chances slip away on the first playoff hole when Couples tapped-in for birdie after he missed for birdie from 30 feet moments earlier. His final-round 62 matched his best round on the PGA TOUR (at the 1995 Canon Greater Hartford Open).
Dick's Sporting Goods Open: Strung together three rounds in the 60s at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, good for a T7.
RBC Canadian Open: Lone official PGA TOUR start came as a past champion of the RBC Canadian Open, where he missed the cut.
