After securing exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV is expanding its golf coverage with a notable commentator switch. Gregor Biernath, one of the most well-known golf voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from Sky Sport to MagentaTV as the live broadcasts kick off on January 15, 2026. MagentaTV aims to be the new home for live golf on television, offering a total of 131 events on two channels.
Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good for Golf is Emerging”
Biernath will lead MagentaTV’s new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Commenting on his move, Biernath said, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf can emerge here. We can shape and refresh golf coverage innovatively at MagentaTV.’ He also praised the team as a ‘cool editorial team’ with a ‘really good mix.’
MagentaTV has also introduced new faces in the commentator lineup.
