Not long after his arrest in Florida, Tiger Woods is likely to enter a first-time DUI offender program.

According to a reported plea deal, Tiger will likely enter into Palm Beach County’s program. He previously didn’t appear in court for his scheduled arraignment this week. Instead, his attorneys had to reset it for October 25.

“The Program is an important effort to make our community safer by ensuring that drivers prosecuted for first-time DUIs (for both alcohol and drug use) have their underlying substance abuse issues addressed. Defendants accept responsibility for their actions, our streets are safer, and taxpayers benefit from fewer trials and lower costs to our criminal justice system,” state attorney Dave Aronberg said in a statement.

Woods was arrested in the early morning of May 29 for driving under the influence in Jupiter, Fla.
