The last time Williams managed to win only two games in a WTA Tour or Grand Slam match was in 1998 when she was 16.
"'Embarrassing' describes the way I played today," Williams said. "Very embarrassing."
The loss in the round-robin match snapped Williams' 16-match winning streak at the year-end championships, where she is the two-time defending champion.
The 6-0 first set was the first time since the 2008 championships that Williams had lost a set by that score, against sister Venus.
"My forehand was off today," Williams said. "It's obviously gone on an early vacation. My serve was at best at the 10-and-under division of juniors."
Williams saluted Halep in a tweet after the match.
