"What’s up everyone. Finally decided to try out twitter!” the New York Post quoted him as tweeting for the first time.

In a second tweet, Woods said, "Yep, it’s me. I think I like this twitter thing. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the love."

Woods' public image has taken a beating since last November, when a car accident outside his Florida home triggered reports of numerous extramarital affairs.

The golfer and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren finalized their divorce in August.

Woods also struggled on the golf course in 2010, failing to win a tournament for the first time in his professional career.

He lost the world No. 1 ranking to Lee Westwood on Oct 31.
