Highly unlikely just one virus is enough, there is a minimum viral load and exposure time element. That's evident by how fast it spreads in enclosed spaces with common recirculated air.

I'm not aware of any case traced back to exposure outside. Maintain distance outside is even lower risk due to constant exchange of fresh air. Continuing golf with no reported instances may be further evidence of the risk reduction when outside.

Surfaces are a different story. Wash your hands, do not touch your face.
