The former world number one, now at 898th in the rankings, sent his first shot into the rough left of the first fairway at the 7,302-yard Albany Golf Club layout to end his longest career layoff after 466 days.
Playing alongside fellow American Patrick Reed in windy conditions, Woods -- clad in black shirt, pants, cap and shoes -- blasted his approach onto the green 15 feet from the hole.
His birdie putt slid two feet past the cup and he tapped in for a par at the 423-yard dogleg right first hole.
Tiger Woods hosts the 18-man invitational event on an Ernie Els-designed par-72 course complete with natural Caribbean brush and sand collecting wayward shots from a field that includes six of the world's top-10 players.
