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.Arnold Palmer, who won seven major championships and lifted golf's popularity to unprecedented heights four decades ago, has cancer and will not play competitively while undergoing treatment.
He flew his private plane to Minnesota yesterday and will enter the Mayo Clinic for tests to determine a course of treatment for prostate cancer.
Palmer, 67, found out on Friday that a biopsy indicated he had cancer. He left the La Costa Resort and Spa where he was attending the PGA Tour awards dinner at the Mercedes Championship and returned to his Florida home on Saturday. Prostate cancer is a slow-developing cancer that can be successfully treated if detected early.
Palmer, one of the most recognisable athletes in professional sport over the last four decades, won four Masters titles, two Opens and one US Open. He ranks fourth on the all-time USPGA Tour victory list with 60 titles and has won 10 senior tournaments.
