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.Four hours after stumbling to a shaky 74 in the pro-am at the Byron Nelson Classic in Irving, Texas, Tiger Woods spent much of yesterday on the practice green before the first round of the tournament proper.
The rust that accumulated after four weeks away from competition hung heavy on the Masters champion on Wednesday as he missed fairways, missed greens and missed putts in a four-over-par round. "Each round I'll get better and better with my mental state," Woods said.
The Byron Nelson is the beginning of a three tournament run-up to the US Open, and defending champion, Phil Mickelson, Nick Price, Nick Faldo and Mark O'Meara are in the field.
