The polarized proton beams at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Brookhaven National Laboratory provide a unique environment to observe hard scattering between gluons and quarks. PHENIX experiment has recorded collisions $\sqrt(s_{NN})=$200 GeV 62.4 yield data which are complementary those measured by deep inelastic experiments. Polarized proton-proton can directly probe gluon anti-quark distributions as couple color charges of participants. detector is well suited measure many final-state particles sensitive proton's spin structure. We will give brief overview Spin Program we report results, status outlook probes accessible be incorporated into future global analyses world on scattering.
