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.The Presidents Cup ended without a winner in the gloom at George, South Africa, yesterday as the captains of the International Team and the United States agreed to a tie and to share the trophy.
The International captain Gary Player and his American counterpart Jack Nicklaus made the agreement after a play-off match between Tiger Woods and Ernie Els was still undecided after three extra holes with dusk falling.
Nicklaus wanted to claim that the Americans, as holders, were entitled to lift the trophy after a 17-17 tie, only to be met by objections by the International team. Eventually the two parties agreed to share the spoils rather than continue in worsening conditions or play on today.
Els had lost to Woods in the last-day singles but held his nerve in the three extra holes. The South African had to make a 10-footer at the second and Woods a high-pressure putt from 15 feet at the par-three third.
