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.

Lee Westwood has reached a career-high No 3 in the world rankings. Entering this week's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, the flagship event of the European Tour, Westwood has moved ahead of American Steve Stricker and trails only Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

The 37-year-old from Worksop climbed to fourth back in 2001 before a nightmare slump. Last season he won the European money list title for the second time but he is still waiting to land a major. Westwood was tied-third at last year's Open and US PGA and also led the Masters into the final day last month before finishing second behind Mickelson.
