Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking world, is joining MagentaTV from Sky. He will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. On his move, Biernath said, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good is happening for golf. We can innovate and refresh golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial crew’ and a ‘really good mix.’
