Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most well-known golf voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. He 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 for golf can emerge here. We can shape golf innovatively and shake things up at MagentaTV.’ He also praised the team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and described it as a ‘really good mix.’
New faces have also been brought in for commentators. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in covering golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also be part of the live broadcasts.
