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.

Next year's Solheim Cup at Loch Lomond could be moved forward from October to try and ensure coverage on BBC television and better weather conditions.

Tim Howland, chief executive of the Ladies' European Tour, and Ty Votaw, the commissioner of the LPGA Tour in America, are currently discussing a change which should see the event between the top women in Europe and America take place earlier in the year, with late August the favourite.

Concern over the possibility of a poor weather had already led to a reduction in the number of matches - the likelihood now is a return to Ryder Cup format - while a clash with the World Matchplay Championship had ruled out the possibility of live coverage on the BBC.
