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.The top-ranked golfers from the United States competing against their peers from Great Britain and Europe for the Ryder Cup adds up a heady mixture of drama and emotion. This year's match at the Oak Hill course in Rochester, New York, from 22-24 September, should again be a scene of nerve-racking excitement.
Tickets for Rochester will be limited to 25,000 a day, with Europe's allocation 2,500. Thomas Cook is the appointed preferred travel agent to the Ryder Cup and potential supporters should beware of unauthorised agents offering tickets and accommodation. Thomas Cook offers a variety of ticket packages centred on the cup, with add-on options of golfing or tourist breaks. The agent has already sold 400 of its 2,000 packages available throughout Europe.
The Professional Golfers Association has an allocation for bona fide supporters travelling individually, who can show proof of private accommodation.
