Gregor Biernath: ‘Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized 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. Speaking about his move, Biernath said, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is being created here. We can innovate and shake up golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and highlighted the ‘really good mix.’
New faces have also been found for commentary. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as a hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also be part of the upcoming live broadcasts.
