From the rules committee explanation of their ruling:

In preparation for his fifth shot, the player dropped his ball in close proximity to where he had played his third shot in apparent conformance with Rule 26. After being prompted by a television viewer, the Rules Committee reviewed a video of the shot while he was playing the 18th hole. At that moment and based on that evidence, the Committee determined he had complied with the Rules.

After he signed his scorecard, and in a television interview subsequent to the round, the player stated that he played farther from the point than where he had played his third shot. Such action would constitute playing from the wrong place.

On reflection you are correct that it appears the rules committee didn't indicate to Tiger that his drop was legal.

On the other hand if they or Tiger thought it was illegal he would have not signed the scorecard.

Just my opinion of course.

I was referring to "told him after he got off 18 that they reviewed his drop and it was legal."

No where have I seen they met or talked to Woods after he got off 18. In fact Woods says they met this morning not yesterday.
