Chase Callahan said Tuesday the 25-year-old Blasberg was scheduled to fly Sunday to Mobile, Ala., and tee off Monday in qualifying rounds at the Bell Micro LPGA Classic.
Blasberg's sudden death Sunday at home in Henderson is being investigated by police and the Clark County coroner.
They say it could be four to six weeks before their investigation is complete.
Callahan says police in Henderson aren't giving him and Blasberg's parents, Mel and Debbie Blasberg of Corona, Calif., any indication how Erica Blasberg died.
Henderson police spokesman Keith Paul said Monday that authorities were investigating the death. It was not immediately clear whether foul play was involved.
Paul said police responded to a 911 call and were dispatched to Blasberg's suburban three-bedroom house around 3 p.m. on Sunday. Paul declined to say who made the call, saying it was part of the investigation.
Callahan says there'll be a memorial service May 19 at the Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona.
