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Your support makes all the difference.Steve Striker has withdrawn from this week's Players Championship to rest his sore right shoulder.
Stricker, the world No 3, first withdrew from New Orleans two weeks ago when he began experiencing pain. Tests revealed inflammation in the joint where the clavicle meets the sternum. Stricker says the injury does not appear to be serious, although he does not want to risk it getting worse by playing before it properly heals and has therefore decided not to play at Sawgrass in Florida.
The American hopes to be back out on the PGA Tour by the end of the month. His next start is likely to be Colonial which is in Fort Worth, Texas, where he is the defending champion.
Stricker was replaced in the field by his fellow American Spencer Levin.
