TeeOffSports Vs. MiaTheModel - WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Challenge (2023)

March 21, 2023

Spencer takes on the creation that he and Byron Lindeque made named 'Mia The Model' for this year's Match Play Bracket Challenge!

As some of you may already know, Byron (@TheModelManiac) and I co-manage a model weekly that we have dubbed "Mia." Essentially, we input our results into the sheet and let the consensus of our numbers dictate percentages for the RotoBaller 'One & Done' contest. 

It doesn't mean we always take our sheet's best player available or the top option. However, the randomizer filter incorporates a luck-driven approach to the draw, and I would like to pat ourselves on the shoulders for one second when we look at the impressive $8,459,086 total we have amounted over 10 events.  At this point, it seems as if our incorporated numbers have created an OP variation that can't be stopped, which is why I chose to let her cool down from suffering a numerical overload and decided to import my win percentages for each group and let her do her magic.

As an example here, my numbers thought Scottie Scheffler had about 38% of the win probability in group one, all the way down to a little over 13% for Alex Noren, and I simulated each group five times and took the fifth result as the selection Mia wanted to go with for her bracket. Very similar to the stuff that we get weekly in the OAD contest.

I thought it was a fun way to do it because it kept the mathematical percentages but allowed chaos to ensue like we will see this weekend, so without further ado, here are the results that Mia simulated and the bracket that I also created for myself.

Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools and DFS advice. Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event.

Group 1

Strength - 7th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Scottie Scheffler
TeeOff - Davis Riley

Percentages held true for Mia by advancing the 38% equity that it believed Scheffler will hold in group one.

Group 16

Strength - 6th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Tommy Fleetwood
TeeOff - Sungjae Im

Sungjae was the top implied probability choice. Mia went with Fleetwood, who was second

Group 8

Strength - 1st Hardest 

Mia Pick - Matt Kuchar
TeeOff - Viktor Hovland

There's a reason this pod is the most challenging of the 16. Mia decided to roll with the third choice. I chose the slight favorite in Hovland.

Group 9

Strength - 5th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Adam Svensson
TeeOff - Adam Svensson

You could make an argument that my numbers are a little too aggressive for Adam Svensson, but the Canadian was able to realize the slight margin he had in projected win equity over Collin Morikawa and Jason Day in the simulation.

I selected Svensson for the leverage and contrarian nature of my math.

Group 5

Strength - 4th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Hideki Matsuyama
TeeOff - Max Homa

Hideki had a little over 28% to be the choice. I went with my favorite in Homa.

Group 12

Strength - 10th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Jordan Spieth
TeeOff - Taylor Montgomery

The favorite won out for Mia.

Group 13

Strength - 8th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Sam Burns
TeeOff - Sam Burns

Group 4

Strength - 9th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Patrick Cantlay
TeeOff - Patrick Cantlay

Group 2

Strength - 3rd Hardest 

Mia Pick - Billy Horschel
TeeOff - Jon Rahm

Mia's pick sort of shows the wide-open nature of Mitchell, Fowler and Horschel teamed up to take down Rahm.

Group 15

Strength - 11th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Corey Conners
TeeOff - Cameron Young

Conners was the second most likely player to advance. I went with my favorite.

Group 10

Strength - 13th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Tony Finau
TeeOff - Tony Finau

Even a simulated model can't seem to avoid Finau chalk.

Group 7

Strength - 15th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Ryan Fox
TeeOff - Andrew Putnam

This group is open for the taking. Fox was the last choice, but the percentages were all 20+ for the pod.

Group 6

Strength - 2nd Hardest 

Mia Pick - Aaron Wise
TeeOff - Tom Hoge

I've talked enough this week about my love for Hoge. I will be taking him -120 on DraftKings against Wise on day one.

Group 11

Strength - 16th Hardest 

Mia Pick - J.J. Spaun
TeeOff - J.J. Spaun

Spaun was right there with Fitzpatrick when it came to likelihood to advance with my numbers. Not overly shocking that Mia landed there.

Group 14

Strength - 14th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Lucas Herbert
TeeOff - Russell Henley

Another section that has a lot of volatility with who advances.

Group 3

Strength - 12th Hardest 

Mia Pick - Rory McIlroy
TeeOff - Keegan Bradley

McIlroy does have the best chance. I went contrarian, but the math would pick Rory more often than not.

Sweet 16

For the rest of the way through, I ran what my head-to-head percentages would be on each matchup. For example, Scottie was a little less than -200 to advance over Fleetwood in Mia's example.

Mia Pick - Scottie Scheffler over Tommy Fleetwood
TeeOff - Sungjae Im over Davis Riley

Mia Pick - Matt Kuchar over Adam Svensson
TeeOff - Viktor Hovland over Adam Svensson

Mia Pick - Jordan Spieth over Hideki Matsuyama
TeeOff - Max Homa over Taylor Montgomery

TeeOff - Max Homa over Sungjae Im

Mia Pick - Tony Finau over J.J. Spaun
TeeOff - Tom Hoge over Cameron Young

Third-Place

Mia Pick - J.J. Spaun over Patrick Cantlay
