The latest results from LHC experiment show the 95% CL exclusion on the Standard Model Higgs in high mass region, 130 < mH < 540 GeV, and start to see Higgs boson like excess around mH=125 GeV. In the excess region, the combination of the Tevatron Higgs searches have similar sensitivity with LHC program, exclusion limit at 95% CL is 1.2 to Standard Model expectation at 115 GeV. Furthermore, while the excesses from LHC experiments are in H->\gamma\gamma or H->ZZ in 4 lepton final states, the most sensitive mode in Tevatron is H->b\bar{b} with vector boson associated production, which is necessary to establish the Standard Model Higgs mechanism. I would like to discuss the status and prospect of the low mass Higgs searches at Tevatron, including its validation through diboson cross section measurement in vector boson plus b-jets final states.
