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 leaving Sky to lead the new expert team at MagentaTV. Supported by golf professionals Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer, Biernath expressed enthusiasm about the move: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can develop for golf. We can innovate and revamp golf coverage at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
New faces were also added to the commentator lineup. Michael Born, who has experience as a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in covering golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known for his work as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
