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.

TWO-TIME MAJOR WINNER FUZZY ZOELLER DIES

GOLF: Two-time major winner Fuzzy Zoeller has died at the age of 74.

Zoeller became the first – and last – player to win the Masters on his debut when he triumphed in 1979, and he also won the 1984 US Open.

Zoeller was embroiled in controversy in 1997 for remarks he made about Tiger Woods, whose win at the Masters entitled him to choose the Champions Dinner menu for the following year.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said: “Fuzzy was a true original whose talent and charisma left an indelible mark on the game of golf.”
