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.

Plans to play 36 holes at the weather-delayed Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii - the opening event on the PGA Tour calendar - looked bleak when the scheduled re-start was pushed back due to strong winds yesterday.

Scores were scrapped on Friday because of high winds and heavy rain, while no play was possible on Saturday.

"Tuesday is not out of the realm as yet," said Slugger White of the PGA Tour. "Fifty-four holes is what we are trying to finish. I think you can determine a champion with 54 holes with no problem whatsoever; 36, I don't think so."

Ian Poulter is the only Briton in the 30-man field.
