Gregor Biernath leaves Sky to join MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team ahead of extensive live broadcasts.
After securing exclusive broadcasting rights for the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has now added a prominent commentator from Sky Sport. Broadcasting begins on January 15, 2026, with MagentaTV set to become 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 recognizable golf voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. He will lead the new expert team, supported by golf professionals Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath commented on his move: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can innovate and shake up golf coverage on MagentaTV.” He also described the team as a “cool editorial team” and mentioned a “really good mix.”
In the commentary team, new faces have also been brought on board. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will commentate golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as a hockey presenter on MagentaSport, will also be part of the upcoming live broadcasts.
