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.Watford's Warren Bennett will make a late decision on whether to compete at the European Tour qualifying school starting today in southern Spain, after suffering a recurrence of a neck injury. The 26-year-old former amateur international, who is due to tee off at 8.27am at Guadalmina, has had to return to the school after earning only pounds 1,381 on the Tour this year. A combination of the neck injury and poor form meant he was able to play in only nine events, having gained the seventh of the 45 cards on offer at the Tour school 12 months ago.
Joyce Wethered, who Bobby Jones once said was the greatest golfer he had ever seen, has died just two days after her 96th birthday. Wethered, who later became Lady Heathcote-Amory, won the Ladies' British Open Amateur championship four times and held the English championship five times in a row. She also won the Worplesdon mixed foursomes eight times with seven different partners.
