Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team at the start of extensive live broadcasts.
After securing exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has now also attracted a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. The broadcasts will begin on January 15, 2026, with MagentaTV presenting a total of 131 live golf events across two channels, establishing itself as a new home for golf on television.
Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most well-known golf voices in the German-speaking region, is leaving Sky to lead MagentaTV’s new expert golf team. He will be supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. On his move, Biernath stated, “The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is being created here. We can shape and refresh golf coverage innovatively at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and referred to it as a “really good mix.”
New faces in commentary have also been sought and found. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also join the upcoming live broadcasts.
