Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, joining the new golf team as extensive live broadcasts begin.
After MagentaTV secured exclusive broadcast rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, a prominent commentator is now switching from Sky Sport to MagentaTV. The broadcasts will start as early as January 15, 2026, and MagentaTV plans to offer a total of 131 live golf events across two channels, establishing itself as the new home for 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 region, is moving from the broadcaster Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Regarding his move, Biernath said: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can shape golf at MagentaTV innovatively and refresh things.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
New faces are also joining the commentary team. Michael Born, who has previously worked as a handball and football commentator for DAZN, will now commentate golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
