Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking world, is leaving Sky to lead the new expert team at MagentaTV. He will be supported by golf professionals Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath commented on his move: “The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can innovate and refresh golf coverage at MagentaTV.” He also described the team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
New faces have also been added to the commentator team. Michael Born, previously known as a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in covering golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as an ice hockey host for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
