Tiger Woods isn't happy with Brandel Chamblee after the Golf Channel analyst essentially labeled the world's No. 1 golfer a cheater in his year-end review on Golf.com. 

Chamblee gave Woods an "F" for the season, alluding to his well-publicized rules violations:

I remember when we only talked about Tiger's golf. I miss those days. He won five times and contended in majors and won the Vardon Trophy and...how shall we say this...was a little cavalier with the rules.

Before that jarring statement, Chamblee compared Woods' rules violations to an instance in his own life when his savvy fourth-grade teacher gave him a failing grade on a math test for cheating.

Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg of Excel Sports Management, released a statement condemning Chamblee for his insulting column, while clearly insinuating legal action could soon follow. Via CNN.com:

I'm not one for hyperbole, but this is absolutely disgusting. Calling him a cheater? I'll be shocked, stunned if something is not done about this. Something has to be done. There are certainly things that just don't go without response. It's atrocious. I'm not sure if there isn't legal action to be taken. I have to give some thought to legal action.
