Tiger Woods. Augusta National.

The question as to whether the former world No. 1 will feature at the 2015 Masters continues to engage and this time, the Golf Magazine's Top 100 teachers chimed in. The question was a simple one: "If you're Tiger's coach, do you encourage him to play at the Masters?"

Forty-five percent said no, while 35 percent said yes. Twenty percent sat on the fence and refused to give a definitive answer.

Below are some of the quotable answers from Golf.com.

Edward Ibarguen: "Not until he is 100 percent ready to play well."

Henry Brunton: "Could be the end of his career if he yips at the Masters!"

Kevin Smeltz: "[I wouldn't] encourage him to do either, but definitely tell him if he is not ready then don't play."

Jon Tattersall: "[Not] unless he plays somewhere else first, Houston being the logical choice."

Not everyone, however, was as pessimistic. The following teachers provided a more optimistic approach to Woods' conundrum.

Joseph Hallet: "He needs to play as much as he can. He used to win when he was on his C game. Now, he doesn't play when his game is C?"

Bill Moretti: "If Tiger really wants to play and compete again, he has to play. You cannot get your game back by practicing in seclusion with no competition."

Mike Adams: "You can't win if you don't enter."

Craig Shankland: "Go play. Tiger might find something from past experiences there. That often happens when a player returns to a site where he had success."

Steve Bosdosh: "He has to get back on the horse after getting thrown off. Besides, he has all those great memories for Augusta."

Kellie Stenzel: "Not sure on Tiger. Would depend upon his desire to play. If his heart was into it, I would say yes."
