Gregor Biernath joins MagentaTV from Sky to strengthen the new golf team for the start of extensive live broadcasts.
After securing exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has also attracted a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. Starting from January 15, 2026, MagentaTV will become the new home for live golf on television, offering a total of 131 events across two channels.
Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good for Golf is Emerging’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized voices in German-speaking golf, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV to lead the new expert team. He will be supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath stated, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good is happening for golf here. We can innovate and revamp golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and a ‘really good mix.’
New faces have also been added to the commentator team. Michael Born, formerly known as a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will now join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, previously known as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also be part of the upcoming live broadcasts.
