Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV to strengthen the new golf team ahead of extensive live broadcasts.
After MagentaTV secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, a prominent commentator from Sky Sport is now joining MagentaTV. The broadcasts will start as early as January 15, 2026, with MagentaTV offering a total of 131 live golf events across two channels as the new home for live golf on television.
Gregor Biernath: “Something new and good is emerging for golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the best-known golf voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from the TV station Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Speaking about his move, Biernath said, “The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good is emerging for golf. We can shape and refresh golf coverage innovatively at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
In addition to the expert team, new faces have also been found for the commentator roles. Michael Born, who has previously worked as a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will now join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating on golf events. Furthermore, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as an ice hockey moderator for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
