Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team ahead of extensive live broadcasts.
After securing exclusive broadcast rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has now attracted a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. The broadcasts will begin on January 15, 2026, offering a total of 131 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 most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, is leaving Sky to lead the new expert team at MagentaTV. He will be supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Regarding his move, Biernath said, “The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can innovate and shake up golf coverage at MagentaTV.” He also described the team as a “cool editorial team” and a “really good mix.”
New faces have also been found among the commentators. Michael Born, formerly a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will now join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel to commentate on golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known for his previous work as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
