Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team ahead of extensive live broadcasts.
After MagentaTV secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, a prominent commentator now switches from Sky Sport to MagentaTV. The broadcasts start as early as January 15, 2026, with MagentaTV serving as the new home for live golf on TV, offering a total of 131 events across two channels.
Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good for Golf Is Emerging”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, moves from Sky to MagentaTV. He will lead the new expert team supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Regarding his move, Biernath stated, “The entire team instantly gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can shape and refresh golf coverage innovatively 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 football commentator at DAZN, will commentate golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, mainly known as an ice hockey moderator for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
