and Heather McKay
. The WPRA lasted until 1994, when the Women's International Racquetball Tour (WIRT) was created.
In 2000, the United States Racquetball Association (USRA) took over administration of the WIRT, and renamed it the Ladies Professional Racquetball Association (LPRA). This led to significant growth under the supervision of the USRA, which had a three year plan for the LPRA.
In 2005, the players took over control and ownership of the tour, and again it was reorganized and rebranded as the Women's Professional Racquetball Organization. Currently, it is run by a seven member board with the WPRO Commissioner, top two players, and then four positions - one player and three non-WPRO players - elected by the WPRO membership.
Shannon Feaster, a former player, served as the WPRO Commissioner from 2005 to 2011, when she resigned. The WPRO announced that Gigi Rock is the new commissioner on July 12, 2011.
Note: In the 1986-85 season, Terri Gilreath and Bonnie Stoll tied for 5th and Molly O'Brien and Sandy Robson tied for 7th.
