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.

Nicolas Colsaerts is surprised that Martin Kaymer has chosen to skip the Johnnie Walker Championship, which starts at Gleneagles today, despite his Ryder Cup place being in jeopardy.

If the Belgian finishes in the top two, he can force his way into Jose Maria Olazabal's automatic top 10 for Chicago next month. That would leave ex-world No 1 Kaymer needing a captain's pick to make the team.

Colsaerts, who was 1,305th in the world three years ago, said: "Everybody goes about their business in different ways, but I'm amazed like everyone else."
