CUOMO: The NFL is pledging nearly $100 million to social justice causes that are important to its players. Andy Scholes has more in the "Bleacher Report." This is a very interesting development. Obviously, this is some kind of accommodation, cooperation. No news, though, about anything to do with the nature of protests before or during games.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Yes, that's right, Chris. We'll have to wait and see if this has any effect on the National Anthem protests that we've seen over the last couple of seasons. But, the NFL did work with a group of players to come to an agreement to partner on a plan to address social justice issues considered important to African-American communities. Now, this "Bleacher Report" is brought to you by the new 2018 Ford F- 150. The agreement does not include language calling for the players to end their National Anthem protests, but the League hopes this effort will help end the controversial movement. That's according to ESPN. The deal calls for the NFL to contribute $89 million over seven years to projects dealing with criminal justice reform, community relations, and education. All right. All eyes of the sports world are going to be on the Bahamas today as Tiger Woods makes his latest comeback. Tiger fine-tuning his game yesterday following a 10-month layoff due to his fourth back surgery since 2014. Tiger is going to tee off in the Hero World Challenge at noon eastern. He hasn't made the cut in a tournament since 2015, Alisyn. But luckily for Tiger, there is no cut this weekend because there's only 18 golfers competing in the Bahamas. So we'll get to see Tiger play, hopefully, the entire tournament.</s>CAMEROTA: OK, there you go. That will be entertaining. Andy, thank you very much.</s>SCHOLES: All right.</s>CAMEROTA: As we now know, Congress secretly paid out $17 million in settlements with taxpayer dollars over the past two decades. Who set up that system? Well, we have the former lawmaker who helped create that program, next.
