Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV to strengthen the new golf team ahead of extensive live broadcasts.
After MagentaTV secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, a prominent commentator from Sky Sport is now also joining MagentaTV. The broadcasts will start from January 15, 2026, with MagentaTV becoming the new home for live golf on television, offering a total of 131 events across two channels.
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 the TV channel 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 good can emerge for golf here. We can shape and refresh golf innovatively at MagentaTV.’ He also described the team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and mentioned a ‘really good mix.’
New faces were also sought and found in the commentary area. Michael Born, previously a handball and soccer commentator at DAZN, will now comment on golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
