We study all tree-level split helicity gluon amplitudes by using the recently proposed Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten recursion relation and Hodges diagrams in ambitwistor space. We pick out the contributing diagrams and find that all of them can be divided into triangles in a suitable way. We give the explicit expressions for all of these amplitudes. As an example, we reproduce the six-gluon split next-to-maximally-helicity-violating amplitudes in momentum space.
