Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, boosting the new golf team for extensive live broadcasts starting January 15, 2026.
After MagentaTV secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, a prominent commentator is now also making the switch from Sky Sport to MagentaTV. The broadcasts will start from January 15, 2026, with MagentaTV becoming the new home for live golf on television, offering a total of 131 events across two channels.
Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good for Golf is Emerging”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, is moving from the TV channel Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath will lead the new expert team, supported by golf professionals Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Regarding his move, Biernath said: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can shape golf at MagentaTV innovatively and shake things up.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
In the commentator area, new faces were sought and found. Michael Born, previously known as a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will now commentate golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, previously known primarily as a hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
