Gregor Biernath joins MagentaTV from Sky to strengthen the new golf team as extensive live broadcasts begin.
After securing exclusive broadcasting rights to the Ryder Cup, the DP World Tour, and the PGA Tour, MagentaTV has now welcomed a prominent commentator from Sky Sports. The broadcasts kick off on January 15, 2026, positioning MagentaTV as the new home for live golf on television with a total of 131 events across two channels.
Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good Is Emerging for Golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most renowned golf voices in the German-speaking world, moves from Sky to MagentaTV. He leads the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath said about his move: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can shape and refresh golf coverage innovatively at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and spoke of a “really good mix.”
New faces were also sought and found in the commentators’ area. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will commentate golf events together with Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known mainly as an ice hockey presenter for MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
