Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team as comprehensive live coverage starts.
After securing exclusive broadcasting rights to the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has also attracted a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. Coverage begins on January 15, 2026, featuring a total of 131 golf events on two channels as MagentaTV becomes the new home of live golf on television.
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 leaving Sky to lead MagentaTV’s new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Speaking about his move, Biernath said, “The entire team immediately made me feel that something new and good for golf is taking shape here. We have the chance to innovate and shake up golf coverage on MagentaTV.” He also described the team as a “cool editorial team” with a “really good mix.”
New faces have also been found among the commentators. Michael Born, previously known for handball and football commentary at DAZN, will work alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel to commentate on golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also join the live broadcasts.
