Although Joe Rogan has etched his name in the brutal sport of MMA with the experience and knowledge that he brings to the table, his affinity towards golf is substantially low. The 55-year-old UFC commentator might be a fan of Tiger Woods’ comeback story, but he has declared that he would never play golf.

In a previous episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan invited a fellow comedian, podcaster, actor, and author, Joey Diaz to the set. The two began their conversations by praising Jamie Vernon, the co-producer of the JRE podcast, for his skills in golf. Without a doubt, the JRE guest seemed to be very fond of the sport. However, Rogan soon revealed that he would never play golf due to his fear.
