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.

NICK PRICE will be full of confidence for next week's Open at Royal St George's after becoming the first player in more than a year to gain consecutive victories in US Tour events.

The Zimbabwean putted superbly to win the Western Open by five strokes at the Cog Hill course in Lemont, Illinois, on Sunday.

Price, the US PGA champion, shot a 67 for a record 19-under-par aggregate tournament score of 269. He collected dollars 216,000 ( pounds 147,000) to move to the top of the 1993 money list with dollars 1,037,879.

Greg Norman, who was two strokes behind Price overnight, scored a 70 to finish second for the third year running.
