(CNN) Tiger Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving Friday afternoon in court in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as part of a program that will likely keep him from serving prison time.

The professional golfer, wearing a suit and with dark sunglasses hanging around his neck, largely remained silent in court. He spoke only to answer "yes" when asked several questions about his plans to plead guilty.

Woods was arrested in Florida on Memorial Day under suspicion of driving under the influence, after police discovered him stopped on the side of the road with his car still running.
