After turning professional later that year, Andrade joined the PGA Tour and quickly established himself as one of the top players on the tour, winning four tournaments between 1991 and 1997.

He has finished in the top 25 on the PGA Tour money list nine times and has represented the United States in international competitions, including the Ryder Cup in 1995 and the Presidents Cup in 1996 and 2000. In addition to his PGA Tour victories, Andrade has also won several other tournaments, including the 1994 Buick Open and the 1998 Canon Greater Hartford Open.
