White Reporter: 'Tiger is on a Winning Streak. He must be Cheating'

From [HERETiger Woods put the heat on Golf Channel over analyst Brandel Chamblee's insinuation of cheating, saying Monday that he was ready to move forward and that now it was up to what Golf Channel was prepared to do. Woods spoke publicly for the first time since Chamblee, a longtime critic of the world's No. 1 player, wrote a column for SI Plus in which he gave Woods an ''F'' for his five-win season because of a series of rules violations.

Chamblee wrote that Woods was ''a little cavalier with the rules,'' and he made the analogy of the time his fourth-grade teacher crossed out ''100'' and gave him an ''F'' for cheating on a math test. Chamblee last week went on Twitter to say the cheating comparison went too far, and he apologized to Woods for ''this incited discourse.''

''All I am going to say is that I know I am going forward,'' Woods said before his exhibition match with Rory McIlroy at Mission Hills. ''But then, I don't know what the Golf Channel is going to do or not. But then that's up to them. The whole issue has been very disappointing as he didn't really apologize and he sort of reignited the whole situation. 'So the ball really is in the court of the Golf Channel and what they are prepared to do.''

Golf Channel has not commented on the flap. Chamblee is an analyst, but he wrote his column about Woods as a contributor to another publication. Chamblee has said he was not asked to apologize by anyone.

Chamblee has developed a reputation for being critical of Woods, mainly regarding his golf game. His column struck a nerve with many, however, because of the implication that three rules violations and a penalty drop involving Woods amounted to cheating – the strongest accusation possible in golf.
