Transverse single-spin asymmetries (SSA) in inclusive reactions are now considered to be directly related to the transverse momentum kₜ of the fundamental partons involved in the process. We find that the ideal probe to extract information on the gluon Sivers function is the transverse SSA of prompt photon production p p → γX, at large pₜ. The following related processes, p p → γ+ jet + X, p p → γ* + X → μ+ μ- + X and p p → γ+ X are also briefly discussed.
