Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’

He will lead the new expert team with support from golf specialists Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer.

We can innovate and shake up golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also praised the team as a ‘cool editorial team’ with a ‘really good mix.’
