Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, is moving 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 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 refresh it at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ with a ‘really good mix.’
New faces have also been found in the commentary team.
