Sarah Ferguson was eager to find her A-list match following her 1996 divorce from Prince Andrew.
The Duchess of York pursued golf legend Tiger Woods — and even flew 1,500 miles to see the "gorgeous" athlete — after breaking her royal marriage to King Charles' younger brother, according to claims made in Andrew Lownie's new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.
Ferguson reportedly spilled to Piers Morgan about her crush on the professional golfer and would pop up at various golf tournaments to cheer on Woods in hopes of things turning romantic.
Sarah Ferguson Thought Tiger Woods Was 'Gorgeous'
Sarah Ferguson wanted to date Tiger Woods after splitting from Prince Andrew.
Per the biography, the mom-of-two told Morgan, 60, she would "follow him around the [golf] course for a bit and see how I get on."
"Poor old Tiger isn’t going to know what’s hit him," the English broadcaster allegedly responded, reportedly informing Ferguson that Woods' busy career likely didn't allow time for "dating royals."
Sarah Ferguson called Tiger Woods an 'amazing friend' in 2019.
In 1997, Ferguson was photographed hugging Woods, 49, after he won the Byron Nelson tournament in Texas. Most recently, the duo was spotted embracing after his championship at the 2019 Masters.
At the time of his win six years ago, the 65-year-old gushed via Instagram: "Never have I been more proud. Good days and bad days, Tigers’ heart is loyal, steadfast and he is an amazing friend."

During her trips overseas to visit the United States, Ferguson also had her eyes on other public figures and Hollywood stars.
Lownie claimed in his book that the red-headed royal additionally pursued John F. Kennedy Jr., Kevin Costner and George Clooney following her split from Andrew, 65.
