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.

PAUL AZINGER yesterday birdied seven of the final nine holes for a seven- under-par 65 in the Tournament of Champions on the rain-soaked La Costa Country Club course at Carlsbad, California for a two-shot lead over Davis Love and Bill Glasson going into the second round. Heavy rain washed out the first round on Thursday and tournament officials were hoping each player could complete 36 holes yesterday.

MICKEY WALKER, who inspired Europe's women professionals to Solheim Cup victory over the United States last October, has agreed to coach the 1993 Ladies' Golf Union training squad. The twice former British Amateur champion starts work with the squad in March as they begin the build-up to next year's Curtis Cup defence in America.
