As if there weren't enough distractions for Tiger Woods upon his return to golf at The Masters next week.

Now it turns out that the Hooters restaurant in Augusta, just down the street from Augusta National, will host a week-long golf-themed bikini contest.

The contest is especially poignant given Tiger's history of an affair with a Hooters' waitress. Can he withstand the temptation of the the wings, the bikinis and the women? Probably, but that got us thinking about the other famous connections between the famous house of mediocre wings and sports.
