Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most well-known golfing voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Regarding his move, Biernath said, ‘The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can innovate and revitalize golf coverage on MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and said it was a ‘really good mix.’
New commentators have also been added. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commenting on golf events.
