Spiranac – a former player on the Cactus Tour – turned professional in 2015, but hasn’t competed since missing the cut in Dubai in 2016.
Although the 25-year-old will not compete in the male only competition, she will watch on as fellow American Tiger Woods bids to turn around his under par first day.
The golf legend, who pulled out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago, shot 2-under 70 with a back nine scorecard of five birdies, one par and three bogeys.
Woods said: “I felt like I could have got something in the 60s today and got off to not actually the best of starts today.
“I hit some bad shots early, rectified that, made a few adjustments, and then went about my business, and then the back nine, there’s nine holes on the back nine, made one par, so that was interesting.”
Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, however, got off to a successful opening day at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course as he looks to keep pace with Ryder Cup partner Francesco Molinari.
Fleetwood birdied six of his last nine holes in an inward half of 30, just one shot outside the tournament record, to set an imposing clubhouse target of seven under par and enjoy a one-shot lead over Korea’s Ben An and American Brian Harman.
While Rory McIlroy was a stroke further back after a bogey-free 67.
