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.

The US Open champion Justin Rose has withdrawn from this week's AT&T National in Maryland, citing fatigue following his victory at Merion earlier this month.

The news comes as a further blow to the tournament, which benefits the Tiger Woods foundation, with Woods having pulled out last week with an elbow injury.

In a statement issued via the tournament organisers, Rose, who won the event in 2010, said: "I'm disappointed to withdraw from the AT&T National, but the last three weeks have been extremely demanding both mentally and physically. I would play if I felt I could."

Rose honoured a commitment to play in the Travelers Championship in the week after his first major victory, finishing joint 13th on Sunday.
