  We investigate the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs)
in the quasi-parton-distribution framework. The long standing hurdle of the
so-called pinch pole singularity from the space-like gauge links in the TMD
definitions can be resolved by the finite length of the gauge link along the
hadron moving direction. In addition, with the soft factor subtraction, the
quasi-TMD is free of linear divergence. We further demonstrate that the energy
evolution equation of the quasi-TMD a.k.a. the Collins-Soper evolution, only
depends on the hadron momentum. This leads to a clear matching between the
quasi-TMD and the standard TMDs.
