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. 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 shake things up at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” with a “really good mix.”
New faces have also been sought and found in the commentator area. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will commentate on golf events together with Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
