Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good for Golf Is Emerging’

He will lead the new expert team, supported by golf specialists Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath expressed enthusiasm about the move: ‘The whole team gave me the immediate feeling that something new and good for golf can emerge here. We can innovate and refresh golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also praised the team as a ‘cool editorial unit’ with a ‘really good mix.’
