Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’

He will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer.

We can innovate and shake up golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and praised the ‘really good mix.’
