Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Tiger Woods' return to competition tomorrow at the Byron Nelson Classic in Texas will be watched by more than 350 members of the media. A record 150,000 spectator badges were also sold for the week. Woods, who will be playing in his first event since winning the Masters in April, said in reference to his altercation with Fuzzy Zoeller: "I'm comfortable with people taking shots at me and I'm comfortable with people saying nice things about me."

Nick Faldo lost to Tom Lehman, of the United States, in a Wonderful World of Golf contest at Barbados' Royal Westmoreland course in Bridgetown yesterday. Faldo fired a seven-over-par 79, compared with Lehman's 75, but still won pounds 62,500 in prize-money
