in a statement that the timing of this tiger woods is in sex addiction rehabilitation. he s taking time off to spent time with his family. he s spoken with the commissioner and he s going to make a public statement. if tiger woods says, i have to do this now because of the timing, they re giving me a break in my rehab and at some point i will answer question but i want to keep the public apprised of what s going on, i m not going to give him a pass but i ll understand. looking at live pictures where we re expected tiger woods to speak any minute. i think it s reasonable if this is what they want to project to the public, that tiger s in control, this is what he wants to say and it s unreasonable for us as reporters because we want answers. bonnie, thank you very much, karen, you re going to stand by. david, as i pointed out, we re looking at this live picture out of florida. the people that you see in the audience, they ve been selected by tiger s team. they are invited to be t
opportunity as we ve pointed out over and over since this news broke to ask any questions of tiger. david, some people are wondering if it s going to be this brief statement, how detailed will tiger be in this statement, the first public one he s made since the scandal broke thanksgiving. and even just looking at the way they ve set up the room with the blue curtain, that doesn t seem like it s conducive to having him surrounded by family an friends. it s almost like he s taking center stage. we got confirmation that tiger woods mother will be there. unclear whether she will be standing by him or be in the audience. it s fascinating just to watch. we should point out as he noted, these people were all invited there. they kind of look zomb zombie-esque. this is not a personal really t. this is not a apparently attack.
it s also the last frontier, i think i heard that on a tv show somewhere. marco rubio who is running for senate down in florida thank you very much for joining us live today, the day after your big speech at cpac. thank you. coming up on the show, will tiger s apology be enough to repair his image? and kim kardashian has quite a following on twitter. wait who you hear who she outted in cyberspace while up in the air. the big question is did it endanger america s security? i wish i were kidding. xxxxxxxxxx
hearing? there s a lot of names being floated out there. roger federer could show up. michael jordan may or may not be here. tiger runs with a very select group of elite athletes. he s real good friends with derek jeter, ken griffey, jr. his best friend from stanford could be there. arnold palmer has been rumored to be there. there s a lot of names. it will be very significant to see which pga tour pros, which i ones decide to show up. the idea that michael jordan might be there, the idea that arnold palmer might be there, that tiger woods is going to surround himself, perhaps, with luminaries, what do you make of this whole scene? i don t think it s as important i m going to probably sort of surprise you. i don t think tiger woods has handled this situation in a bad way. i think that the media tries to control what public figures say
plane has crashed into the echelon building in austin, texas. we ll bring you more on that as soon as we get it. and tiger woods breaking his silence tomorrow with his first on-camera statement since that sex scandal broke in november. and it s going to be held at the tpc saw grass clubhouse in florida. only a select few reporters will be allowed. will also allow friends and a couple colleagues to be there. there will be no questions allowed. joining me here in studio, b.e.t. correspondent jeff johnson and dave ziron, thank you both for joining me. dave, let me start off with you on this. you ve got a lot of people saying what s the point? tiger s not going to take any questions. he could have released a statement on paper. is this the wrong way to go about it? well, yeah. i do think it s the wrong way to go about it because there are really two people on earth right now. there are people who believe that this story really needs to go away. they hate the fact that it ruined their t
