We show that our QCD calculation of the [sup 1][ital P][sub 1] charmonium state can be incorporated into a global description of the fine and hyperfine structure of the charmonium and bottomonium systems. We propose a simple renormalization prescription in which all ambiguities are absorbed into a single strong coupling constant [alpha][sub [ital s]]. We find that the [ital O]([alpha][sub [ital s]][sup 2]) perturbative QCD potential leads to a consistent description of all splittings. The results are used to predict the unmeasured bottomonium [ital P]-wave hyperfine splittings.
