Gregor Biernath moves from Sky to MagentaTV, strengthening the new golf team ahead of an extensive live coverage launch.
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 moving to MagentaTV. The broadcasts will start next week on 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 region, is transferring from the television network Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath leads the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. On his move, Biernath stated, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can innovate and refresh golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and spoke of a ‘really good mix.’
In the commentators section, new faces were sought and found. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating on golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as an ice hockey moderator for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
