A study of prompt photon plus associated jet production is performed at next-to-leading order (O({alpha}{alpha}{sub s}{sup 2})) in QCD at {radical}S = 200--500 GeV, appropriate for the RHIC polarized {rvec p}{rvec p} collider experiment. Momentum correlations between the jet and photon are examined and the utility of the process as a method for constraining the size and shape of the polarized gluon density of the proton {Delta}G is examined
