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 has confirmed he will compete in The Open at St Andrews in July.
The 34-year-old will aim to become the first player to become a three-time Open champion in Scotland after his victories in 2000 and 2005.
Organisers had been confident Woods would compete at the event from July 15-18 and the American confirmed on his website tonight it was on his schedule.
The world number one, triumphant at the Home of Golf by eight shots in 2000 and by five in 2005, returned to the game at The Masters last month after five months out because of a sex scandal.
Woods has played in three events in all but was forced to pull out of the Players' Championship a little over a week ago with an injury which was later diagnosed as an inflamed joint in his neck.
He is expected to make a full recovery.
