After securing exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has welcomed a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. Starting January 15, 2026, MagentaTV will become the new home for live golf on television with 131 events broadcast across two channels.
Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Positive for Golf is Emerging”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. He will lead the new expert team, supported by golf specialists Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath commented on his move, saying, “The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can shape golf at MagentaTV innovatively and shake things up.” He described the team as a “cool editorial group” and praised it as a “really good mix.”
New faces have also been added to the commentator roster. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel for golf event commentary. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as an ice hockey moderator for MagentaSport, will also be part of the upcoming live broadcasts.
