( CNN ) -- Tiger Woods ' agent says he may take legal action after the world 's No . 1 golfer was accused of cheating on the course this year . Mark Steinberg , who has helped the American become the planet 's wealthiest athlete , criticized a `` shameful , baseless '' report on the Golf.com website by TV commentator Brandel Chamblee . Chamblee , a former pro golfer , said in his end-of-season summary that Woods had been `` cavalier with the rules '' -- and he made parallels with one of his own school experiences when he was caught cheating in a math test and marked down from a grade of 100 to an `` F. '' He said his teacher quoted the 19th-century poem `` Marmion '' by Walter Scott : `` Oh , what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive ! '' `` I never did ask my teacher how she knew I cheated and I certainly did n't protest the grade , '' wrote the 51-year-old , who gave Woods an `` F '' for his season 's achievements , crossing out a `` 100 '' mark . `` I knew I had done the wrong thing and my teacher the right , but I never forgot the way I felt when I read that quote . `` 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 . '' Woods was named the PGA Tour 's player of the year for the 11th time after a season in which he won five tournaments and had two top-10 finishes in the four majors . However , at April 's Masters he was controversially not disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard after taking an improper drop , but was penalized . The 37-year-old was also given two-stroke penalties in Abu Dhabi in January and last month at the BMW Championship for rule infringements , while he was suspected by some of taking a favorable drop at May 's Players Championship after hitting a water hazard . `` There 's nothing you can call a golfer worse than a cheater . This is the most deplorable thing I have seen , '' Steinberg said in a statement he later verified to CNN . `` 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 do n't go without response . It 's atrocious . I 'm not sure if there is n't legal action to be taken . I have to give some thought to legal action . `` This is , 'Hey , look at me , ' in its lowest form . Brandel Chamblee 's comments are shameful , baseless and completely out of line . In his rulings , Tiger voiced his position , accepted his penalty and moved on . There was no intention to deceive anyone . `` Chamblee 's uninformed and malicious opinions , passed on as facts , and his desperate attempt to garner attention is deplorable . Brandel has a right to form his opinion . If he wants to give him an ' F ' for his year ? It 's silly . But this goes so far above that and is out of bounds . It 's stunning . '' Chamblee debated the issue on his Twitter account , where he denied calling Woods a cheat . `` To be accurate , I said he was cavalier with the rules . How is it anyone would argue to the contrary , '' he wrote . British golf journalist James Corrigan responded : `` The fact you wrote that and gave him an ' f ' meant you called him a cheat . That is n't right . '' Meanwhile , Rory McIlroy -- whose season has gone from bad to worse since missing the cut with Woods in Abu Dhabi when they were No . 1 and 2 in the rankings -- dropped out of contention at the Korea Open Saturday . The Northern Irishman , now sixth in the world , blamed a `` weird '' day after his third-round 75 left him 10 shots behind leader Kim Hyung-tae of South Korea , who was four clear . `` It was weird . I actually started the round really well , '' said the 24-year-old , who has begun legal proceedings against his management company and reportedly also split from tennis star girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki . `` I just think the story of the day is that I missed a lot of putts , missed a lot of chances for birdies at the start of the round and then mixed a few short ones for pars in the middle and end of the round . That 's really what it was . `` So yeah , a frustrating day because I was in contention after two days and if you shoot a solid score today you 're right in there tomorrow . ''
