Consider the following phrases:

Example 1: CompanyX is the world's largest and leading authority for online dating.

Example 2: CompanyX is world's largest and leading authority for online dating.

As you can see, in the 2nd example the word "the" has been left out. I am not sure if any of these sentences are wrong to say, or if there is a special exception or context when to leave out "the".

I have been looking on google for more information about this, but could not find clear anwsers about it.

I hope someone can clear this problem up for me, thank you in advance!
