Tiger withdrew from the tournament on the week-end. Someone told me today that by not putting a score in that this would not affect his world standing points. Is this correct? The guy pointed to another player who did that on the LPGA tour (Wie).

The rankings take your total number of points and divide by the number of rounds played in the last two years or 40, whichever is higher.
In Tiger's case I don't think he gets any points for WD and if no tournaments have dropped off because of the calendar then his point total doesn't drop. Since he never plays close to 20 tournaments in a year his total is always divided by 40 so that doesn't change anything either.
