Gregor Biernath switches from Sky to MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team as extensive live broadcasts begin.
After securing exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has now gained a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. Broadcasts will start from January 15, 2026, offering a total of 131 golf events across two channels as the new home for live golf on TV.
Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good for Golf is Emerging’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath will lead the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Commenting on his move, Biernath said, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and positive for golf can emerge here. We can innovate and shake up golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and spoke of a ‘very good mix.’
New faces were also sought and found in the commentators’ area. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will now commentate on golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as an ice hockey host for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
