VMware is slow, really slow, at updating their software to support newer linux kernel releases. I just found this [vmware modules for linux](https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules) on github. It's a really cool repo with the patches already applied for the relevant vmware version to work with the latest kernel. I downloaded the zip file, created a tar ball of vmmon and copied that to /lib/vmware/modules/sources/ then ran my custom vmware-modupgrade script. Worked perfectly.
