The PBA said March 18 that its board, at the association’s seventh-term fourth meeting, selected Yoon as the third PBA president.
His term will run for three years, through March 2029.
The PBA said Yoon is known for his strong interest in professional billiards and that he founded and operated the Crown Haitai Laon team in the early days of the pro circuit.
Citing his activities in the arts and culture sector, the association said it considers him well suited to guide stable growth and a new leap for the sport.
Yoon plans to pursue strategies aimed at sustained growth, expanding the fan base and strengthening global competitiveness. The PBA said he also intends to broaden international exchanges and boost league competitiveness so pro billiards can grow beyond South Korea.
Kim Young-soo, who served as the first and second PBA president over the past seven years, is stepping down after helping launch the pro league and build its foundation, the PBA said.
Yoon’s inauguration ceremony will be held next month on the 10th at the Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
