Relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is capable of colliding high energy polarized proton beams. These collisions provide a new technique to explore and understand the origin of nucleon spin. PHENIX detector at RHIC has started making measurements of double spin asymmetries that would eventually lead to the polarized gluon distribution. We present the results from these measurements made in 2003 and 2004 and present an outlook based on the data collected in 2005.
