The Professional Squash Association (PSA) is the governing body for the men's and women's professional squash circuit. The body operates in a similar fashion to the ATP and the WTA for tennis. The PSA World Tour involves over 200 tournaments annually all over the globe. Over 750 players are registered with the PSA and rankings are updated monthly based on players' performances. In November 2014, the WSA and the PSA announced an historic merge between the two associations.〔http://www.squashsite.co.uk/2009/psa_wsamerge.htm〕 A decision was reached that will see the PSA operate as the governing body for both the women's and men's ranks from January 1, 2015. ==PSA World Tour== There are hundreds of PSA tournaments throughout the course of a season of the PSA World Tour, and they are classified into the following categories, based on prize money: * Closed Satellite (Closed Satellite tournaments can either be National Closed Championships or a tournament/series of tournaments whose entry is restricted to members of an association that promotes the tournament). * Challenger (Challenger tournaments are entry point for young and or up and coming professionals progressing through to a more international level of competition).
