However, the five-time Masters winner proved he still has what it takes to be a contender at this years tournament, even though he is a long-shot to win it.
The 48-year-old had started out with a birdie at a tough first hole before hooking his tee shot at hole 13 into the left rough under the trees.
This left it impossible for a right-handed player to have a proper shot.
To remedy the situation, Woods reversed his club to make it a leftie before playing himself back on to the green with a chip shot out of the rough.

Woods then proceeded to walk away from the hole with par after a two-putt.
It saw him finish the day at -1 through 13 holes.
Reacting to the shot, one fan said: “Tiger Woods left-handed is still something to behold..”
A second said: “Tiger Woods is arguably the best lefty golfer in the field right now.”
