A major goal of the RHIC spin program is to measure {delta}g, the gluon contribution to the proton's spin. Measurements by PHENIX of the double longitudinal spin asymmetry, ALL, of the neutral pion production at mid-rapidity in polarized proton collisions have been shown to constrain {delta}g. Results from the 2005 RHIC run, as well as high pT data from the 2006 RHIC run, are presented. The results disfavor maximal positive and negative values of {delta}g. A measurement of azimuthally independent double transverse spin asymmetry, ATT, is also presented.
