Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognizable golf voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath heads the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Speaking about 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 innovatively and shake things up at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
New faces were also sought and found in the commentator team. Michael Born, previously known as a handball and soccer commentator at DAZN, will commentate upcoming golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, who is primarily known as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the live broadcasts.
