Tiger Woods became the secret crush that made Sarah Ferguson travel 1500 miles reveals biography

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, reportedly flew 1,500 miles just to pursue golf legend Tiger Woods. This claim comes from an upcoming biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by historian Andrew Lownie, with extracts published by the Daily Mail and other outlets. The book describes how Sarah Ferguson told broadcaster Piers Morgan that she found Tiger Woods “gorgeous”. So she took a long flight to see him.

Sarah Ferguson’s secret crush on Tiger Woods led to 1,500-mile journey

In August 2025, the book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York reveals that Sarah Ferguson confided in Piers Morgan that she felt strongly attracted to Tiger Woods, who at that time was early in his golf dominance.



She called him “gorgeous” and asked, “Do you think I stand a chance with him?” According to the biography, she flew 1,500 miles just to be near Tiger Woods and even told Morgan she would “follow him around the course for a bit and see how I get on”.



Piers Morgan reportedly joked that Tiger Woods might not have “the schedule for dating royals”. These revelations derive from early extracts published online before the full book’s release on 14 August 2025.

Sarah Ferguson’s romantic pursuits included JFK Jr., Kevin Costner, and George Clooney

Sarah Ferguson did not stop at Tiger Woods. Lownie’s biography also details her romantic interests in other famous men after her divorce in 1996. She reportedly had a “schoolgirl crush” on John F. Kennedy Jr., even giving him the code name “Number Nine” and attempting to intercept him in New York hotels, only to be furious when she learned that Princess Diana had actually met him first around Christmas 1995.

The book also claims she tried to connect with Kevin Costner, allegedly making “raunchy phone calls”, and once expressed interest in George Clooney. Lownie’s research also addresses her spending habits in the 1990s and early 2000s. By 1995, she had accumulated nearly £3.7 million in debt (almost $5 million), reportedly racked up through lavish travel, extravagant staff, and unpaid bills at luxury stores and hotels.

Queen Elizabeth II is said to have covered some bills at first, but cut financial support in 1996. Sarah Ferguson is remembered for her lavish lifestyle, predicting fame and romance, while Lownie documents how her choices echoed both privilege and recklessness.

The full biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lownie, publishing 14 August 2025, promises more stories about Sarah Ferguson’s bold pursuits and financial dramas, including her closeness with Prince Andrew, ex‑husband and still companion at Windsor, plus intense details of her life after separation.
