Erica Blasberg Dead – LPGA Golfer Blasberg Dies

According to USA Today, 25-year-old LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg died on Sunday in Las Vegas. The cause of death is still investigated by authorities.

Blasberg played her only LPGA Tour event this year two weeks ago in Mexico and tied for 44th.

She found greater success in college, winning six times in two years at the University of Arizona and playing on the Curtis Cup team in 2004. She turned professional that year.

LPGA spokesman David Higdon called Blasberg’s death a “tough hit” for women’s golf.

“She was a very popular player and well-liked and we’re going to miss her,” Higdon said. “This is a very close-knit group of players and tour and we’re saddened by what happened.”

LPGA player Meg Mallon said the news will “hit hard” for tour participants.
