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.

The Inaugural Women's World Cup Golf tournament will be held on the outskirts of the Malaysian capital in Kuala Lumpur, from November 30 to December 3, the event's promoters said today.

Fourteen countries have said they will participate, and two others - South Korea and Italy - are expected to announce their lineup next week, said Country Heights Promotions Ltd.

Among the top international athletes competing will be Karrie Webb, the world's top woman golfer, representing Australia, the company said.

No. 2 golfer Annika Sorenstam will represent Sweden, while Laura Davies, ranked No. 10 and winner of 60 international events, will represent England, the promoters said.

The three-day tournament will take place at the 71-par, 6,807-yard (6,224-metre) Mines Resort and Golf Club course, about 16 kilometers (10 miles) south of Kuala Lumpur.

The format will be similar to that of the Men's World Cup 1999, in which the lowest aggregate score for the 54 holes or three-rounds of play will be used to determine the winning team, said Country Heights Promotions.
