For the first time since Zach Johnson in 2007, the Masters champion will tee it up in the RBC Heritage the following week.

Jordan Spieth, despite a busy week at Augusta National that ended with his first green jacket and a two-day media tour in New York, will honor his commitment to play in the PGA Tour event, which begins Thursday at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, S.C.

Spieth was offered a sponsor exemption to play in the RBC Heritage in 2013. Spieth, who was trying to earn his PGA Tour card at the time, said Monday on the “Late Show with David Letterman” that his decision to play this week was out of respect to the tournament, which gave him that sponsor exemption two years ago.

Spieth, who has finished T-12 and T-9 in his last two starts at the RBC Heritage, will arrive at Hilton Head on Tuesday evening but will not play in Wednesday’s pro-am.

And speaking of Letterman, here’s a clip from Monday night’s show:
