Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking world, moves from Sky to MagentaTV. He will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Commenting on his move, Biernath said, ‘The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can develop for golf here. We can innovate and shake up golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He described the team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and spoke of a ‘really good mix.’
New faces have also been found for the commentator roles. Michael Born, previously known for handball and football commentary at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, formerly known mainly as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also be part of the upcoming live golf broadcasts.
