Erica Blasberg Pictures Explode Across Net After Her Death

Erica Blasberg pictures are all over the Web. While various voyeurs will come for a glimpse of a beautiful woman, golf fans know just how important the young star could have been to the LPGA Tour. In a shocking turn of events, the 25-year-old women’s golf rising star will no longer have the chance to prove what she can do on the links and in advertising for the sport. According to the Associated Press, Erica Blasberg died in her three-bedroom Las Vegas suburban home. Las Vegas police have not ruled out foul play at this time, as outlined by reports. Until the investigation is complete, police force will intentionally withhold the identity of the person who made the initial 911 call.

Erica Blasberg – pictures of a increasing star

Erica Blasberg pictures are certainly popular, but step from the mouse for a moment and consider the bigger picture for golf. Erica Blasberg’s death – not to mention the whole Tiger Woods fiasco – are damaging to golf television ratings and sponsorship, to the point that they might be left in need of debt relief. The ache is felt strongest on the LPGA Tour, particularly because you will find too few prospects who are both top-flight winners and highly marketable. Marketing the league is becoming increasingly difficult in America, with few native daughters within the rankings, according to fan sentiment at The Golf Channel website. As one golf fan voiced his displeasure regarding America’s current state on the LPGA Tour:

“There has not been an American POY or an American who won the Vare Trophy (scoring title) since 1994. There has not been an American leading the money list since 1993. In the last 15 years, only four ROY titles have gone to Americans. Of the last 41 majors (dating back to the year 2000), only nine are won by Americans. This has quite consistently been about one major a year one by Americans”.

Thanks to that kind of underperformance and lack of highly marketable stars, the New York Daily News reports that sponsors are pulling out. American hopefuls like Paula Creamer and Michelle Wie haven’t been able to put it all together and carry the Tour.

Erica Blasberg played her first LPGA Tour event two weeks ago

Blasberg held her own with a Top-50 finish at the Tres Marias Championship in Morelia, Mexico, which happens to be one of recently retired Lorena Ochoa’s stomping grounds. Blasberg didn’t beat the world south of the border, but she did more than enough to keep American golf fans watching. It has simply a sign of things to come from the former University of Arizona golf star.

The loss of the much-loved Erica Blasberg is a “tough hit” for the LPGA, said league spokesman David Higdon to the media. Losing Erica Blasberg is particularly hard for the tight-knit sorority that is the American LPGA Tour. She could be missed by family, friends and her growing fan base. The loss can be strongly felt by the LPGA, who’ll miss Erica the person and Erica the potential automobile to key an American resurgence.
