I think it is very important to emulate a tour player who is the same stature as you and also the same type personality. Body type is important because different body types have different swing tendencies that suit their body types.
A scientific or methodical person does not benefit from trying to emulate a feel player. An example – Someone who walks fast, talks fast and a lot like a Lee Trevino would struggle trying to play the style of golf that Jack Nicklaus played.
