Good evening everyone. The LPGA is mourning the loss of golfer Erica Blasberg. Blasberg was found dead in her Nevada home. She was 25 years old.
Her agent released the following statement…
“We are devastated to learn of the passing of Erica Blasberg. To most of the world, Erica was known as a professional golfer, but she was more than that. She was a loving daughter to her parents and a compassionate and loyal friend. Erica had a good heart, was extremely kind and very thankful for what she had in her life. She lived out her dream of playing professional golf on the highest level on the LPGA Tour, allowing her to help inspire others. We are proud of Erica for everything she accomplished. This is a painful loss, we feel it in our hearts and we will miss her. Erica would want those close to her to celebrate the life she lived. We ask that you keep Erica and her family in your prayers.”
Blasberg had been a PUMA Golf staffer since the company got into the golf market in 2006. The guys at Sandbox8.com had a chance to interview Erica Blasberg at the PGA Show in 2009.
Our prayers go out to the Blasberg family and the entire LPGA Tour.
