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. Biernath said, ‘The whole team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can shape and innovate golf coverage on MagentaTV.’ He also described the team as a ‘cool editorial team’ with a ‘really good mix.’
In addition, new faces have been found in the commentator team. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will commentate golf events alongside Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Furthermore, Holger Speckhahn, known primarily as a hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
