Sarah Ferguson is alleged to have sought out a romance with Tiger Woods after her divorce from Prince Andrew, a new bombshell royal book has claimed.
The Duchess of York is the latest member of the Royal Family to have been mentioned in a new serialised passage from royal commentator Andrew Lownie’s book “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York”.

Sarah Ferguson ‘sought out romance with Tiger Woods’ after divorce from Prince Andrew
In extracts serialised in the Mail, Lownie claimed that the Duchess of York had a list of men whom she was keen to be romantically involved with after divorcing Prince Andrew in 1996. These men included the late son of John F Kennedy, the former US president.
Lownie wrote: “On a trip to New York, Fergie asked her staff to find out if John F Kennedy Jnr… was in town and, discovering where he was, she invited him for drinks or dinner at her hotel, which he accepted.”
While the meeting with the son of the former president never took place, Fergie did meet Woods and has since maintained a friendship with him, according to the author.
The Duchess was pictured hugging Woods in 1997 following his win at the Byron Nelson tournament in Texas, one of his early PGA Tour victories, and more recently publicly congratulated him on his 2019 Masters victory.

“Never have I been more proud,” she wrote about the golfer on Instagram, adding: “Good days and bad days, Tigers’ heart is loyal, steadfast and he is an amazing friend.”
GB News contacted the Duchess of York’s representatives, who declined to comment on the book’s allegations.
Lownie has promised “extraordinary revelations” about Prince Andrew and Sarah in his new book.
He claimed the Duchess of York told Piers Morgan that she would “follow him around the [golf] course for a bit and see how I get on”.

The broadcaster reportedly suggested that the athlete might not have the “schedule for dating royals”, concluding: “Poor old Tiger isn’t going to know what’s hit him.”
Lownie additionally suggested in the book that Fergie “plagued” American actor Kevin Costner with “raunchy phone calls” and was interested in George Clooney at one point.
The Duchess of York, who has remained close to her former husband and continues to live with him in Royal Lodge, was subject to a series of tabloid stings after her separation from Prince Andrew in 1992.
The most infamous incident included a photograph surfacing of Fergie sunbathing topless while having her toes sucked by her financial adviser in St Tropez.
