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 leads the new expert team supported by golf professionals Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath commented on his move: ‘The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can innovate and freshen up golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and praised it as a ‘really great mix.’
New faces have also been found for the commentators’ team. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will now commentate golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as a hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will join the live coverage.
