TMZ has obtained a photo of the aftermath of the Tiger Woods accident that occurred early this morning.

You can see a small barricade where the fire hydrant Tiger hit used to be. Remnants of debris can be seen scattered across the driveway -- possibly from when Tiger's wife smashed out the back window to help him.

Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ Tiger Woods' early morning accident came right after an argument with his wife, Elin Nordegren.

We're told Elin told cops about the argument at the scene of the accident and Tiger gave the same story to authorities at the hospital where he was treated.
One Florida law enforcement official called it "a domestic issue."
Elin apparently was able to forgive and forget -- according to Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor, Nordegren smashed out the back window of Tiger's car to help get him out.
UPDATE -- We're told the Florida Highway Patrol went to Tiger's house this afternoon to talk to him about the accident -- but they were turned away by his wife, who said he was sleeping. The FHP plans to try and talk to Woods again tomorrow.

The United States government might have a bigger budget to work with -- if one bodybuilding governor would pay the back taxes it appears he never got around to paying.

According to documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Arnold Schwarzenegger owes the IRS $39,047 from 2004 and $40,016 from 2005.
In total the Guv owes $79,064.00 ... and as we all know, he's definitely not saving the money for rainy day traffic violations.
An official at the L.A. County Recorder's Office tells TMZ their system shows the lien is still active.
Calls to Arnold's office have not been returned.

UPDATE -- According to Tiger's rep, he was in a "minor" accident, "admitted, treated and released today in good condition."
Tiger Woods is in "serious" condition after being involved in a single car crash near his home in Florida early this morning.
The crash occurred at 2:20 AM in Windermere. He was taken to Health Central Hospital with facial lacerations.
Woods struck a fire hydrant and then a tree on a neighbor's property. The fire hydrant is reportedly less than 100 feet from his driveway.
Police say alcohol was not a factor. There were no signs of alcohol on the scene. We're told the police have yet to speak to Tiger.
The police report reads, "DRIVER HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT HIS RESIDENCE ... AS V1 BEGAN TO DRIVE ON DEACON CIRCLE, V1 STRUCK A FIRE HYDRANT. THE FRONT OF V1 THEN STRUCK A TREE ... THE DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO HEALTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL. THE CRASH REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND CHARGES ARE PENDING."
We're told charges could range from DUI to reckless driving ... to nothing.
He was driving a 2009 Cadillac SUV. FHP says the airbags did not deploy.
Woods was by himself at the time.
His next scheduled event is December 3 in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

As if Michael Lohan could descend any lower on the crappy father scale, TMZ found out he's over $15,000 behind in child support.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Michael has racked up $15,100 in unpaid child support to Dina for their three minor children: Aliana, Michael Jr. and Dakota Lohan.
Now how about this horrible scenario: If Michael profited off those audio tapes he released of Lindsay's lowest moments, he could actually pay off his child support with money he made from exploiting one of his children.

Lamar Odom hasn't been able to move his $2.39 million pad, so he gave it a makeover to help sell it.

We're told Lamar wants to move the Manhattan Beach house ASAP -- so he cut the realtor a check to get the staging done it to make it more presentable. Lamar and his new wife Khloe just threw down a chunk of change on a place in Tarzana -- a cool $3.995 million.
BTW -- the furniture doesn't even come with the house. For $2.39 mil, you'd think he'd throw in a sofa at least.
